Student accounts are automatically created based on the information that is entered into the system by Registration when a student completes an application for admission.

You can access the portal by going to my.sinclair.edu. This will give you access to your email, Tartan Card online, ANGEL the web-based course management system, Web Advisor to manage your account: registration, payment, financial aid and more.

All accounts are in the format of “firstname.lastname” unless an identical name ever existed in the system (student or employee). If there is an existing username that matches the new name, a random four digit number will be appended to the end of the user name (example: john.smith5721). Passwords are initially set to “Pass” followed by the last four digits of the SS# (example: Pass1234). The first time you log on, the password will expire and you will be prompted to choose a new password. If the default format is not working, please contact the IT Help Desk at 937-512-HELP (4357) or at http://hdto.sinclair.edu.
