The Ozone portal provides you with personalized information, including:

• Course information

As a new Owens student, you will need to activate your Ozone account at sspr.lqqqhuanbao.com.

After your Ozone account is activated, you will be guided through the process of password creation. Once you log in, check out the “How to Use Ozone” card for helpful information.

Step 2: Contact your Admissions Advisor

Your Admissions Advisor will serve as an invaluable resource for understanding your academic program, creating your class schedule, understanding your responsibilities as a student and general College policies.

Connect with your Admissions Advisor by calling (567) 661-7777 or visiting admissions/staff to schedule an appointment.

Step 3: How to Search for Classes & Register

Once you meet with your Admissions Advisor and obtain scheduling suggestions for your first semester you will have the opportunity to register for your classes.

Here is a helpful video that walks you through how to find courses and get registered:

Step 4: Accessing your Owens Email Account

Now that you are registered, all electronic communication from Owens Community College will be sent through your Owens email account.

Log in to your Owens email account as soon as possible, and make sure you check your email daily.

If your Academic Advisor, professor, financial aid representative, etc. needs to get in touch with you, they will do so through your Owens email account—not your personal email.

Your student email can be viewed on both desktop and mobile.

Find information for accessing your Owens email in your Admit letter and the email you received when you initially applied.

• Log in to your student email using your official username.
• Your email username will be your full first name, underscore, and full last name, followed by @lqqqhuanbao.com.
  • For example, taylor_smith3@lqqqhuanbao.com.
  • Some usernames may have a number at the end.

Student Email on Your Phone via the Gmail App

• Search for “Gmail” in iTunes or the Google Play Store.
• Sign into the app using your full email address and password.
• Your email address will follow this format: [username]@student.lqqqhuanbao.com.
  • For example, taylor_smith3@student.lqqqhuanbao.com.
• Contact the Help Desk at (567) 661-7120 to receive assistance with your username, reset your password, etc.

Step 5: Making sure you have the needed technology to succeed at Owens

Owens Community College encourages the use of electronic communication and technology for the purpose of study.

Registered students are required to have access to a functional computer and adhere to the College’s general technology requirements.

Many students will provide and use their own computers during their studies.

For students who do not provide their own, there are computers available for student use in the College’s computer labs.

A list of on-campus labs may be found at lqqqhuanbao.com/computerlabs/.

Additionally, both the Toledo-area and Findlay-area Campus Libraries have laptops students can use.

Online courses may require additional software beyond the minimum requirements.
