  • Network access (Office 365, Canvas, One Drive for Business, & Library Databases).
  • Continued access to your student email address. Your @mitchellhamline.edu email account is left in place for 12 months after graduation, after which time your account will be converted to “alumni” status. If you are unable to log in, your password may have expired. You can change your password yourself by going to the self-service password page.  Note: when your email account is migrated to an alumni email account you will not lose any of your old emails.
