HC Network Accounts

Network and Email Account Information

All Hesston College students and employees receive a network and email account

(generally First/PreferredName.LastName@Hesston.edu).

This account provides access to Hesston College systems, including:

• The HC_Secure wireless network (the preferred and best performance and security network).

• Web resources, such as: my.Hesston.edu, moodle.hesston.edu and helpdesk.hesston.edu

• Student lab computers, and college printers;

• for employees: classroom and office computers.

• Network file storage, including private (H:\), class shared (M:\Classes);

• for employees: departmental (K:\) and shared (M:\ and F:\) network drives.

• A Google Apps account, for email and other Google services (eg: Google Docs and Drive cloud storage).

• A Microsoft Office365 account, for Office (FREE!) and other Microsoft services (eg: OneDrive cloud storage).

Use of this account is an implicit acceptance of the “Hesston College Computer Usage Policies” and the Hesston College Campus Lifestyle Standards which can be found in the Student Handbook. This includes keeping your account private, as you are responsible for all activity under your account.

New students or employees should have received instructions on accessing your new account by email before arriving on campus. If not, please contact your admissions counselor or Helpdesk@Hesston.edu.

(Returning students and employees will still have access to their account from the previous year, and will be notified when their record is marked as not expected to return for the following semester.)

For students: your Resident Assistant (RA) is also available to assist you in getting connected to these resources.

If you have questions or are unable to connect:

• email Helpdesk@Hesston.edu (will generate a ticket automatically - our preferred contact method)

• call 620.327.8103 (x8103 on campus)

• visit the IT department (1st floor of the Alliman Administration Center)
