IMPORTANT: NWACC does not support personal devices. This handout is intended to serve only as a guide.

Smartphones and other devices that support Microsoft Exchange Active Sync (iPhone, Android, Windows Mobile/Windows Phone 7, WebOS) can be set up to sync with your NWACC email. You will need to go to the email app on your phone and find the account settings area. Each device is different, so you may need to ask someone knowledgeable for help if needed.

Configuration Process

When going through the configuration process, most of the methods will auto-configure after you select the email type (Microsoft Exchange) and have entered your NWACC email address and password.

Depending on your device, you may be asked to enter information in other fields:

Exchange Server: exchange.nwacc.edu
Domain: NWACC
Username: (first part of your email address – exclude the “@nwacc.edu”)

Syncing Options

When working with mobile devices and tablets, you may be asked which items you want to sync, such as your mail, calendar, and contacts, so please be aware of this. We recommend that you NOT sync contacts.

IT Help and Support

If you have any questions about this information, please email the NWACC Information Technology Helpdesk: techsupport@nwacc.edu They are available from 8-4:30 Monday – Friday.

Remember that if you change your NWACC password, you will also need to update it on your phone.
