What is my email address/password? Top
You can find your email address and password by printing your schedule/bill. The information you will need to access your email will be printed under the section labeled Account Information (see below). Your email address will be your username@student.highlands.edu.
How do I check my email? Top
Your email can be read via the web at https://mail.highlands.edu/student.
How do I use webmail? Top
Tutorials on using webmail can be found here: http://mail.highlands.edu/data/openwebmail/help/en_US.ISO8859-1/index.html
Im not getting emails from my professors. Top
The most common reason for this is that you are either forwarding your email to an invalid address or you are forwarding it to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) that doesnt accept forwarded messages. Many ISPs consider forwarded messages SPAM and do not allow them to be delivered. Since we cant guarantee that your ISP will accept the messages we recommend that you disable message forwarding. If you use message forwarding, please check Keep local copy to ensure mail is still being delivered to your GHC email account
To remove your forwarding, log onto your email account and click on the preferences button.
Remove everything from the Forward mail to: line, scroll to the bottom of the page, and press the Save button.
Can I use my laptop on the Georgia Highlands wireless network? Top
Yes. Just go to http://www.highlands.edu/wireless for full setup instructions.
What is GHC Connect? Top
GHC Connect is a system that allows you to:
- Reset your password from anywhere - in case it has expired or if you just want to update it.
- Set your security questions - this is an important feature you should set the first time you login. This will allow you to reset your password if your current pas sword has expired. Just choose forgot password from the login page and follow the instructions to reset your password.
- Sign up for text messaging - be notified of general announcements, severe weather alerts, or emergencies on your cell phone.
What username/password do I use with the wireless? Top
You will use the same username/password that you use to access your email. For full setup instructions goto http://www.highlands.edu/wireless. If you have any problems, you will need to stop by the IT department on your campus so that we can troubleshoot your setup. You can also send an email to rt@highlands.edu from your Georgia Highlands College email account with questions about wireless access.
Does Georgia Highlands College have wireless on the SPSU campus? Top
Yes. Students can use SPSUs wireless network with their GHC network username and password. There is an SSID of ghc, which uses a web based authentication mechanism and your Highlands credentials. All you need is a wireless client, which you can get from SPSUs helpdesk in building H or from GHC IT in E 103.
If you have done these and are still having problems, please call us at 706-295-6775 or 678-872-8086. You can also email us at rt@highlands.edu.
How do I change my password? Top
You can change your password by visiting GHC Connect, clicking the password tab and completing the form.
Why should I set my security questions on GHC Connect? Top
If you forget your password, you can use your security questions/answers to reset your password from anywhere without having to contact IT. Please configure your security questions through GHC Connect.
