All YCCD students have email accounts established when they register for one or more classesat eitherColumbia College or Modesto Junior College. This email account will be used by faculty to contact students enrolled in their classes and for college staff to inform students of important announcements.
Your account will have a 5 GB mailbox size and a 10 MB attachment limit. Students may use this account to easily send and receive messages, manage calendars, and track contacts. Student email accounts are web-based and can be accessed from any computer with an Internet connection.
Once issued, email accounts must be activated by the student. YCCD will not have access to your password; therefore, during activation you must provide an alternate email address and set up a secret question/answer in case you need to reset your password. For detailed instructions on how to retrieve and activate your student email and access your account, follow the links below:
