Accessing your Olds College email for the first time

Gmail is the official email of Olds College. Every Olds College student and employee has an Olds College email account. You can access your email from anywhere you have an internet connection.

If you are accessing your Olds College email account for the first time, you will need to follow the instructions below to set up your password.

How to set up your password

  1. Go to: https://mypassword.oldscollege.ca

  2. Click on Reset my Password.

  3. Enter in your student ID (your nine digit student ID number, including all the zeros) into the User Name field, press logon.

  4. Click the "Use Email Verification" button. Check your personal email that was used upon applying to Olds College of Agriculture & Technology for an email containing a time-sensitive link.

  5. Click on the included link in the email. This will open a new window to reset your password.

*Note: if you have not received your email, you may use https://mypassword.oldscollege.ca to regenerate your time-sensitive link.

Please contact the IT Support Desk if you are a returning student that may have an inactive personal email address on record. The security questions and answers allow you to reset a forgotten password or unlock your account if you get locked out.

The password that you have just created is the same password that you will use to log into your Olds College email account, to log into the computers on campus, to access Olds College WiFi, and to log into your Moodle account.
