The Financial Aid Office will only communicate through COS email accounts. We cannot respond to personal email accounts. COS students have access to Microsoft Office 365, which provides each student an email account once you have applied and been accepted to the College.
COS uses Microsoft Office 365 for student email and other web-based Office programs. You can access your Office 365 account by logging into mySiskiyous and clicking the red Mail button in the upper right corner.
If you are accessing your account for the first time, see the instructions on the mySiskiyous support page.
If you cannot find your email address, contact the Student Help Desk with your name, contact information, and either your student ID number or your date of birth and the last four digits of your social security number.
If you do not know your password, click Forgot my password. Enter your COS email under User ID, enter the jumbled characters, then click Next. Choose one of your verification methods, then change your password after following the prompts. If you do not have authentication methods set up, you will need to contact the Student Help Desk with your name, contact information, and either your student ID number or your date of birth and the last four digits of your social security number.
More information regarding your student accounts and other student resources is available on the Student Help Desk page. If you need additional assistance to access your COS student email, please email the Student Help Desk at studenthelpdesk@siskiyous.edu or call (530) 938-5523.
