Note: For the setup process your initial login should be done on a computer and you will need to have your phone available.

2. Set-up Two-Factor Authentication (aka: Duo)

The Smith Portal provides links to numerous online services and resources, including Smith Mail, Moodle, and Lynda.com. Take a moment to see what's there.
- Go to: portal.smith.edu
- Enter your username and your new password.
- After you approve the Duo Authentication you will see "Welcome to the Smith Portal".
4. Accessing your Smith Mail
- From the Smith Portal page you will find "Smith Mail" under the Useful Links column.

- After this first login, you can access your mail several ways, portal.smith.edu, mail.smith.edu or gmail.com. Note gmail.com locations will require you to enter your full email address (username@smith.edu) and your password to log in.
5. Accessing your Workday Account
Workday is Smith’s cloud-based enterprise resource planning system. Human resources, payroll and student employment services are available here.
**Important Note** Please use your Smith Network credentials to log in to Workday. You should have received an email from Smith_College_Account_Creation@smith.edu containing your Smith Network Credentials to use to log in to all Smith applications. Incoming students will receive a separate email message to their Smith address regarding their Workday access later in the summer.
- Using your Smith network username and password, you can log in to workday.smith.edu from a computer, tablet or mobile device.
- Once you are logged in, navigate to the Workday Help Site for instructions, FAQs, training and updates. This can be accessed by selecting the Menu button at the top left and choosing Help from the dropdown. You can also use the search bar at the top of the page or the Workday Assistant (this will be the Workday icon at the bottom right).
