Accessing the System:

To access SmealConnect, you MUST sign the Letter of Intent, agreeing to our policies, every academic year.  If you have already signed the Letter, you can click on the link at the upper right hand side of this page labeled SmealConnect, to log-in to the system or click HERE.

If you have not signed the Letter or need to re-sign it for this academic year, please visit SmealConnect First Time Log-In.
NOTE: it takes 1-2 business days for your account to be unblocked (our business hours are Monday - Friday, 8:00am - 5:00pm).

Once you sign the Letter of Intent, you will receive an email with your SmealConnect password - we recommend changing this to match your password for eLion, WebMail, etc. so that it is easy to remember.

If you have questions on how to use the system, view our Tips section and watch the SmealConnect Webshop for more detailed information.
