Technology at Stonehill for New Faculty
Welcome to Stonehill!
The Department of Information Technology provides a robust infrastructure, a variety of networked resources, and accessible support services to enhance the teaching and learning environment for the Stonehill community.
Your Stonehill email address, username, and password are the keys to your digital life at Stonehill. You’ll use your email address to log in to all of our Office 365-powered applications and services (including important applications like myHill and Canvas), and your username to log in to campus computers, register your devices, connect to wireless, and more. Your password is the same for all these things!
The first time you log in to your email or any part of Office365, you will be asked to register verification methods which will allow you to log in through MFA, as well as change your password, unlock your account, or reset a forgotten or expired password.
Your Stonehill account enables you to leverage Microsoft’s Office 365 cloud service to access a variety of useful online tools. Your Stonehill email works seamlessly through either the O365 web interface or Outlook on your computer or phone. Everyone at Stonehill can be found through the People directory, which can also be used to easily send meeting requests from your O365 calendar.
Your Stonehill Office 365 account also gives you access to download and install the latest version of the full Office suite of applications such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote on up to 5 of your personal devices at a time. You also gain access to web versions of these applications, making collaborations with students and other faculty a breeze. Plus, you can safely store up to 1TB of files in your OneDrive, which allows sharing with others and makes your files accessible from all of your devices.
myHill is your path to everything! To access myHill, navigate to myhill.stonehill.edu and sign in using your Stonehill email address and password. Through myHill, you’ll have easy access to many College resources including your email, Canvas and more.
