Your Hood College e-mail account is your primary means of communication between you and other Hood community members such as advisors, instructors, classmates, students, co-workers, and associates. For students, e-mail is the official vehicle for the College to communicate with you regarding important issues including billing of student accounts and campus emergencies, news, and events.
Your e-mail account will be automatically created when you have been entered into our administrative system, Power Campus. As a student, this will be when you are deposited, as a faculty, administrator, or staff member, it will be when you are made active by Human Resources.
Students
Each student at Hood receives a Microsoft Live@edu account. We refer to this system as "Hood in the Cloud." Further details and information about your Hood in the Cloud account can be found under "Student E-Mail."
Alumni
Hood is currently using Communigate Pro for its alumni e-mail system. Active mailboxes will be migrated to Hood in the Cloud during 2012.

Hood's faculty, staff and partners use Microsoft Exchange. Further details and information about your Exchange account can be found under "Faculty and Staff E-Mail."
