Body
My Hamilton is your personalized view of information at Hamilton, as well as a starting point for accessing information and entertainment from all over the Web. My Hamilton gives you control over what Web resources and information are available to you, such as your Hamilton e-mail and Blackboard accounts.
https://my.hamilton.edu is the login screen for the portal. After logging in, you will see your own Hamilton College portal page where you can customize access to the above-mentioned resources.
My Hamilton uses tabs to group certain resources. Each resource is called a channel. There is a button in the top right corner on each channel which allows you to manage display settings and content.
Home
The main section where you can add channels for direct access to E-mail, WebAdvisor, Blackboard, Facebook, Personal Calendar etc.
Communities
These provide access to Listservs to which you are subscribed, campus messages and events and messages from the Hamilton community (e.g marketplace, lost and found, ride board).

Effective September 30, 2025, the My Hamilton Files tab is now retired.
Modern solutions like Google Drive and VPN/Network Drive access offer improved, more secure solutions for file management than this legacy tool.
Please note that discontinuing the tab does not mean SSS/ESS are being discontinued. You will continue to have full access to your SSS/ESS files through alternative methods:
- Direct access on Mac and Windows: Follow the provided instructions for Mac and Windows. (For Windows users, simply replace "ESS" with "SSS" in the steps.)
- Citrix applications: Access your files directly by following these instructions.
- Off-campus access: Connect via VPN/Network Drive to reach your files.
You may also choose alternative solutions like Google Drive for storing and managing your files.
