How do you get to your email?
-
Go to the Santa Monica College website at smc.edu (opens in new window)
-
Click on the Login tab at the top of the screen and then click Corsair Connect below that
-
Click onto the SMC Gmail link at the top of the Corsair Connect login screen

A new window SMC Sign-On will appear
-
Enter your Username and Password as directed on the SMC Sign-On page to gain access to your SMC Gmail account. If you have difficulty with the login, go to the Emeritus Enrollment/Student Services Office for help.

If this is the first time you are using Corsair Connect, then your initial password will be your 6-digit date of birth (MMDDYY) and you will then be asked to convert your 6-digit date of birth password to a new alphanumeric password. You are responsible for retaining your new password. If you have forgotten your ID number or password, click on “I cannot access my account” on the Corsair Connect login screen and follow the instructions to retrieve your login information.
