CougarMail

St. Charles Community College has teamed up with Microsoft to provide students with a better e-mail solution. Students will receive a Windows Live account, which includes e-mail, online file storage and other services. A Windows Live ID (username@my.stchas.edu, where username is the same as your SCC Student ID) will be used to log on to all Windows Live services. The e-mail service is called Outlook Live.

This will be the e-mail address used for all official college communications.

Students will see an immediate advantage to their new e-mail – vastly expanded storage. Mailbox size will be 10 GB. Students will be able to continue to use the username@my.stchas.edu e-mail address and Windows Live services after graduation.

Besides Windows Live, additional Windows Live services include:

• Windows Live SkyDrive: store up to 25 GB of data online; access it from any computer or share it with friends
• Windows Live Groups: collaborate in a virtual workspace
• Windows Live Messenger: chat with up to 20 friends
• Windows Live Toolbar: sync favorites in Internet Explorer 7 and 8
• Windows Live Photo: share photos
• Microsoft Office Live Workspace: store and share documents online
• Windows Live Spaces: blog and share photos, opinions and more
