How do students access MySeminole State?

1. Go to the Seminole State Web site: www.seminolestate.edu
2. Click on MySeminole State
3. Enter your valid Login Name and Password (all students will be required to create an account during their initial session in MySeminole State).
4. Click the Login button.

Why do I have to create an account?

Seminole State College is working hard to achieve two goals:

• To establish a single logon environment where only one Login Name and one Password are necessary to utilize Web services, thereby centralizing the authentication process
• To assure a secure workplace by utilizing the latest encryption technology

All students will be required to create their own Login Name and Password during their initial session in MySeminole State.

What if I don’t have a Social Security Number?

Students who do not have a Social Security Number should contact the Seminole State Admissions/International Student Office or Records Office at any campus or call 407-328-2050 to obtain the appropriate direction to create their account.

What is a Login Name?

Your Login Name is your universal access ID to all Seminole State computer resources.  In addition to accessing MySeminole State, your Login Name will be used to create your MyMail student e-mail account and provide you access to the College’s network system.  Therefore, you are encouraged to use good judgment when creating your Login Name.

Your Login Name must consist of at least five characters and no more than eight.  Keep in mind your Login Name is case sensitive, so capitalization does matter.  The system will only accept letters and numbers.  Spaces and punctuation are not valid.

Make sure you remember your Login Name!

Examples of appropriate Login Names:
johndoe1
123JANE

What is a Password?

Your Password is the second half of the Login validation process.  It must include at least five characters and capitalization does matter.  Once you have created your MySeminole State account, your password will be e-mailed to your e-mail account of record.

Why am I required to select a Question and provide a Response when creating my MySeminole State account?

If you forget your Login Name or Password, you can request a new Password be e-mailed to you by clicking on the Forgot my Login Name and Password link on the Login page of MySeminole State.

The Question and Response you provide while creating your account will be used to authenticate you when requesting your Password.

What is an Seminole State ID number?

This seven-digit number uniquely identifies you in the College’s student records system.  Upon your admission to the College, you will be assigned an Seminole State ID number, which, for your personal security, will be used for identification purposes throughout your career at Seminole State instead of your social security number.

Once you have created your MySeminole State account, your Seminole State ID number will be e-mailed to your e-mail account of record.

Who can use MySeminole State to register for classes?

Any current college credit, Seminole Stateorporate College or community education student may use MySeminole State for registration and to access their student records.  Vocational, adult high school, adult education, ESOL, Language Institute students and alumni may use MySeminole State to access their student records.

Seminole State does not mail grades. You may view your grades via MySeminole State.

1. Go to the Seminole State Web site: www.seminolestate.edu
2. Click on MySeminole State
3. Login with valid Login Name and Password
4. Click on View My Grades & Transcripts

To accommodate the transition of your student records from the S-PASS system to the new MySeminole State portal the College is temporarily asking current/past students to:

Access your Spring 2004 grades via S-PASS

Access your unofficial transcripts via S-PASS through the summer 2004 term

You will login to the S-PASS system as you have in the past, with your social security number and your PIN.  If you have forgotten your PIN you will need to do one of the following to have it reset:

Call 407-328-2481 or 407-328-4722, ext. 3440 and provide your "Student I.D. Number."  Your student I.D. number is found on the ID card on your fee statement or on your transcript.  Your student I.D is not your social security number.

Visit any Seminole State campus in person and provide a photo I.D. that matches your name and social security number.

What is MyMail?

MyMail is Seminole State’s free student e-mail system.  A MyMail account will be created for all students with a valid Login Name.  Once you have created your MySeminole State account, your MyMail address will be e-mailed to your e-mail account of record.

Your MyMail account will be available 24 hours after you have created your MySeminole State portal account.

Example: MySeminole State Login name = johndoe1
MyMail Login Name = johndoe1
MyMail address = johndoe1@mymail.scc-fl.edu

How do students find help when using MySeminole State?

Each Seminole State campus has trained facilitators available to assist students with MySeminole State registration process.

Students using computers at home or any other site may call 407-328-2050 for MySeminole State assistance.

Why do I keep getting bumped off MySeminole State?

The most probable reason is that there is a 20-minute time-out in place.  If there is no activity in 20 minutes, you will be returned to the MySeminole State login page.  This is to protect your data from unauthorized access.
