Log In

1. Open a web browser and go to the Monmouth College home page (http://www.monm.edu).
2. Click on the Email link in the upper-right corner of the page.
3. Click on the LOGIN button.
4. Select the public or private logon option.
   
   IMPORTANT! For security reasons, the public computer option automatically times out after 15 minutes. The private computer option automatically times out after 24 hours.
5. If desired, select Use Outlook Web Access Light.
   
   Note: OWA Light provides fewer features and is sometimes faster. Use OWA Light if you are on a slow connection or using a computer with unusually strict browser security settings. If you are using a browser other than Internet Explorer 6.0 or later, then you can only use OWA Light.
6. Log on with your Monmouth College user name and password.
7. Click on the Log On button.
   
   Note: The first time that you log in to OWA, a window appears that allows you turn on low vision optimization* and to change the language and time zone settings. Unless you want to make a change, accept the default settings and click OK button. If you decide later that you want to change one of these settings, then you can do so in the OWA options.

   * Low vision optimization is for people who have a hard time viewing the screen. When you turn on low vision optimization, you actually switch to a different version of Outlook Web Access, which is called Outlook Web Access Light. Outlook Web Access Light provides fewer features than Outlook Web Access Premium, but it is optimized for accessibility.
