How To Activate Your Account

Note: You must activate your account to gain access to myPEAK, college email, and on-campus network resources. 

If you need assistance during any step of this process, please contact the Information Technology Help Desk at 814-262-6470 or helpdesk@pennhighlands.edu.

You will need the following information to activate your Penn Highlands Account:

  1. User Name - This was emailed to your personal email account that you specified on your College Application. You would have received this after you were accepted to Penn Highlands. 

  2. Email Address -  Your Penn Highlands email address is your myPEAK user name followed by @pennhighlands.edu,  (e.g. a111a1@pennhighlands.edu)

  3. Password - Your temporary password is made up of the first 3 letters of your county name followed by your zip code.

    For example, if you lived in Cambria County and your zip code was 15904 your initial password would be: Cam15904 (Please make sure to capitalize the first letter as your password is case sensitive). If you need assistance during any step of this process, please contact the Information Technology Help Desk at 814-262-6470 or helpdesk@pennhighlands.edu.

    Note:
    If you are an out of state student your initial password will be made up of the first 3 letters of your state name and your zip code (e.g. Mar21517)
    For example, if you lived in in the state of Maryland and your zip code was 21517, your initial password would be: Mar21517

  4. Now that you have your Email Address and Password, follow the instructions under Account Activation Process section or use the Account Activation Guide.
