How to Access Your Email AccountYour Email AccountAs an enrolled student, you have been given a Tri-County email account. To access that account you need to open the browser (probably Internet Explorer) on your computer. In the address bar at the top of the screen, type the address webmail.tricountycc.edu and then hit the enter key. This brings you to the opening page of our student email server. Click on the go button.

Logging into your Email AccountYou are now asked for your username and password. Your username is the first four letters of your last name plus the last four digits of your student ID number.

Example 1 – Suppose my last name is Smith and my Student ID number is 1234567. My username would be smit4567.

Example 2 – Suppose my last name is Carpenter and my student ID number is 9876543 . My username would be Carp6543.

The initial password for everyone is changeme. Click on the login button to view your email.

Changing Your Email PasswordWe suggest that you change your password so that others cannot access your account. To change the password, sign on to your account using the provided password. Then click on the middle button at the top of the screen. Type your old password (changeme) on the first line. Type your new password on the next two lines. Click “Save.”

Closing Your EmailWhen you are ready to leave your email account, always click on the third button at the top of the screen (the arrow that points to the left). This will close your account so others cannot access it. Enjoy your email account.
