You’ve Got SMC Email!
Every Emeritus student is assigned an SMC student email address for official communication with the College, including class messages. Check your student email account regularly after completing one-time activation of online services at smc.edu/activate.
An overview of each SMC online service, instructions on how to ask for help, and an alternate direct link to student email are at smc.edu/studentithelp.
A self-help menu for resolving login problems is at smc.edu/studentaccounthelp.

Low class attendance may result in class cancellations. If you cannot attend class, please withdraw online or by filling out a withdrawal form to allow space for another student.
