After receiving your PBCC student e-mail address, the following steps have to be performed  BEFORE THE FIRST TIME USE of your e-mail account:

1. Log into PantherWeb with your Student ID and PIN.
   
   
2. On the student home page, click on the Go To my.PBCC E-mail link in the My Details section on the right side of the screen.
   
   
3. On the Windows Live Provide Account Information page, your Windows Live ID which is your Student E-mail address will be filled in for you.
   
   
4. Enter your six digit date of birth (MMDDYY) as your initial password (i.e., if your birthday is 11-27-1989, enter 112789). If you did not provide the college with a date of birth, your initial password will be 010101.  
   
   
5. Below that, you will be asked to change your password. We recommend changing it to your PBCC PantherWeb PIN as long as it is at least six characters.
