Transcript How to Set Up & Access KCTCS E

Creating and Accessing
Your KCTCS E-Mail
and Student Self-Service
Accounts
Created by Todd Bryan

Introduction
• One of the first and most important things
that a new student at any KCTCS school
needs to do is set up his or her e-mail
account and student self service access.
• This PowerPoint will guide you through the
steps of setting up and accessing your email account as well as using that login
information to access student self service
features.
Step One: E-mail
•
The key to accessing almost all electronic services
offered by KCTCS is your e-mail username and
password.
• Because of this, it is necessary to create an e-mail
account before trying to access any other KCTCS
services.
• You will need the following information to set up your
account:
1. Your Last Name (which I hope you know)
2. Your Student ID number (which you can get from your
KCTCS registration documents or your advisor)
E-mail Setup
• To begin creating your KCTCS e-mail
account, first open Internet Explorer (no
other browser will work) and type this
address into the address bar as shown,
then hit enter:
https://webmail.kctcs.edu
Click here to start setting up your new
KCTCS webmail account. This account
information will be used to access all of
your student resources; Self Service (for
grades and financial information), and
Blackboard (for online courses).
1. Enter your last name
here.
2. Enter your student ID
number here.
3. Click here to finish & register for you
E-mail account.
Creating your account
• The next screen that comes up will prompt
you to enter a password for your account.
This password MUST be at least 8
characters long and contain both letters
and numbers. In addition, the password
must contain a mix of capital and lowercase letters (one capital will do).
• Be sure to write your password down and
put it in a safe place!
Accessing your e-mail account
Click here to logon to your e-mail account, you will need
the username and password you created in the previous
step.
Type your username and password into the appropriate boxes and click OK to log in to
your webmail account. Please note that if you log on at KCTCS computers (at the
schools) this step will not be necessary as you can click directly on the MS Outlook
shortcut on your desktop to get your e-mail. This will not work, however, until you have
set up your account. With the webmail site, however, you can access your school e-mail
and personal calendar from ANYWHERE!

Restrictions
• You will be unable to access some of the
self service features of student self
service, including self enrollment and self
withdrawal, at this time.
Conclusion
• Now that you know how to access your
student e-mail account and student self
service features, spend some time playing
around with your new set of tools. Send
some e-mail, check your student bill and
financial aid, or even get a better feel for
the progress you have made towards your
degree! Further presentations will be
available in the future to highlight specific
features of both webmail and self service!
