Class Years prior to 2001
You must create an account through Handshake with your alpha-numeric Pomona MyMail email address:
- If you graduated from Pomona in or prior to 2000, you may not have a MyMail email account.
- Your MyMail address is the username@mymail.pomona.edu address (e.g.ces02012@mymail.pomona.edu).
- If you have not already done so, you will need to recover or activate your Pomona account by going to https://mypassword.pomona.edu:
- If you do not remember your password, click “Forgotten Password”.
- If you are activating it for the first time, click “Activate Account”.
- You will be prompted to provide your username (e.g. ces02000), your last name, and your Pomona ID number.
- If you do not remember your username and/or Pomona ID number, please contact the Registrar’s Office to verify your identity. Once you have been verified, they will provide you with your username and/or Pomona ID number so you can resume the “Activate Account” process.
- Once the process is complete, you will receive credentials to access your Pomona MyMail account.
- You can log into your email account by going to mymail.pomona.edu.
- With your MyMail now activated, go to https://pomona.joinhandshake.com/register and create a Student/Alumni account.
