1. What do I do if I haven’t activated my my.evergreen account?

When you are admitted, you are given an online services account. Use this account to register, create evaluations, pay tuition, review financial information and manage your student email. It is necessary to activate this account by going to my.evergreen.edu. Your login will be:

Three letters from your last name, plus
Three letters from your first name, plus
the day of your birth (2 digits). For example, Elliott Treadman, born on April 14, 1981, will have the login - treell14.

Your password will be day of birth (2 digits), plus month of birth (3 letters), plus year of birth (2 digits). So, for our example case, Elliott, his password is 14apr81.

4. Do I have a certain amount of time to accept my awards before they are cancelled?

You have 45 days from the date you receive the offers to accept the grants that have been offered to you. Accepting your grants does not commit you to attending Evergreen. Your grants, with the exception of the Pell Grant, will be cancelled if you do not accept them within 45 days and there is no guarantee that we will be able to replace these awards. Any Perkins Loan funds that you have been offered will be canceled then, too, if you have not accepted them. Stafford or PLUS loans offers will not be canceled unless you decline them.

5. What happens if I decline my awards now and then decide to attend Evergreen later?

If you decline your awards now you may not be able to recover these awards at a later time. You will be reviewed for award eligibility at the time you notify us of your decision to accept your awards; however, our office will only be able to award you the funds that are available at that time.
