Student Single-Sign-On

Hey Current and Future EAC students,

To provide a better and more consistent electronic experience for you, EAC Information Technology Services has been asked to make some changes to Gila Hank Online, Canvas, and MonsterMail. Our tentative date to implement these changes will be on August 10^th (in between the summer and fall terms).

Gila Hank Online and Canvas

• Gila Hank Online and Canvas will start using Microsoft 365 to authenticate your logins. This will make them consistent with other electronic systems used at EAC like Akademos (textbooks) and CampusLogic (Financial Aid) that already authenticate students using their Microsoft 365 accounts.

MonsterMail

• To further lean into Microsoft 365, we will start using it to host the student email accounts (MonsterMail) instead of Gmail/Google.
• This means you’ll start using Outlook Web Access instead of Gmail for your student email (MonsterMail) on August 10^th.
• Only currently enrolled and recently enrolled students will have MonsterMail accounts. Our current definition of ‘recently enrolled’ will be anyone that has been enrolled at any time in the three years preceding the current semester.

Our goal is to make these changes as non-disruptive as possible to you

• We will email you additional information as we get closer to the implementation date, including links to web pages with details and FAQ’s.
• You will continue to use the same password for Gila Hank Online, Canvas, and MonsterMail as you do currently.
• The same departments on campus that have been able to assist you with password resets for Gila Hank Online, Canvas, and MonsterMail will continue to be able to help you after these changes.
• To help us help you, make sure you keep your password reset methods updated in your Microsoft 365 account
• It’s also a good idea to have multiple password reset methods (email, phone, authenticator app, etc.) on your Microsoft 365 account.
• If you haven’t already, log into your EAC Microsoft 365 account at https://login.microsoft.com to activate your account and set up your password reset methods. Your username will be your MonsterMail address (with the @ monsters.eac.edu suffix) and the password will be the same one you use for Gila Hank Online.

As mentioned earlier, we will continue to communicate more information to you over the next few weeks leading up to these changes. Stay tuned and thank you for your patience.
