Synapse Instructions for P.A.C.E. Students

The following are instructions on how to access Houghton's Course Management System (CMS), Synapse that will be used for all P.A.C.E. core courses.

  1. Access Synapse for P.A.C.E. by going to: http://www.houghton.edu/library/PACESynapse/PACE_portal_page.htm  (it would be recommended that you bookmark this page).

    • Synapse for Online Courses: if you are accessing Synapse for an Online Option course you will go to the main Synapse portal page at: http://synapse.houghton.edu/historic/ and click on the "semester" that your course falls under and skip to #3 below. If you are not sure what semester your course is in view the course page on the P.A.C.E. website or ask your academic advisor.
  2. Click on your Cohort and the Current Term that you are enrolled.
  3. Please secure your Houghton College Network Username and Password.  This information was sent to you within the first few weeks of P.A.C.E.  If you are not able to find that information at this time, please email the P.A.C.E. Office at pace@houghton.edu and we will re-send the needed information.
  4. When entering your Username, only enter the first and last name.  Do NOT add the '@houghton.edu' (i.e. firstname.lastname).
  5. You should see a Red box to the Right entitled "Classrooms" and in that box you will see the courses for that term that you are registered.
  6. Click on your current class and proceed.
  7. The links along the top of the page that you will most likely use are "Content," "Assignments," and possibly "News".
