How to create a PIN (necessary to access your account)

Why do you need a PIN?  In an effort to provide more security in accessing your account online, the use of a PIN has been implemented.  Since the user determines the PIN, this helps insure the prevention of unauthorized access to your GIL account.

What can your PIN do for you? Use your PIN to log into your account to obtain the following information:

  • The GALILEO password.
  • Viewing the list of items you have checked out.
  • Renewing materials online.
  • Making a materials request.
  • Reviewing the status of requested items.

How do I get my PIN? From the "My Account" screen:

  • Enter your GHC ID number (#9000 or #9001).
  • Enter your last name.
  • Click on the "Get My PIN" link (bottom) and a temporary PIN will be immediately emailed to your Georgia Highlands email.
  • Once you have received your temporary PIN, log back into your account and re-enter your information.
  • Remember to change your PIN! Click on the "Change PIN" button, located directly under your name & address in your patron account.       

                                                                                                                                                             What if you forget your PIN? You can use the "Get My PIN" link on the log in screen to have it emailed to your  GHC student email address: (your name@student.highlands.edu).
