Augusta Technical College updated the SmartWeb student portal in February 2015. SmartWeb is your student information portal and the official method of communication used by the College. If you used the previous portal, you can see that things have changed. First of all, email is now through Gmail, for student and adjuncts, and can be accessed by clicking the 
icon to the left. Secondly, Banner Web can be accessed by clicking the Banner Web
icon. For further info on how to use the portal, please continue.
To log into the portal, do the following:
(Note: On the login page, there are some helpful links to assist in making logging in an easy process. The first link, 'READ THIS FIRST', is to provide instructions to logging into the portal. The last two links, 'Forgot Password' and 'Reset Password', are to provide a way to reset a password in case it is forgotten.)
