How to get an E-mail account:
All University of Hartford students,
faculty and staff may request an e-mail account. New
accounts are opened with the Computer Support Consultant
on duty in the Computer Support Center, room CC113. A
University ID (or Driver's License or State ID Card) AND
current class schedule are
required. All incoming freshmen have an account
automatically created prior to the beginning of the fall
semester (provided registered by mid-July), and a letter is sent in the mail during the
summer with all the pertinent information.
If you registered late,
are a transfer student, or a part-time or graduate student you will need to go to the
[Computer Support Center],
room CC113, with your current
Student ID (or Driver's License or State ID Card) AND
a copy of your original class schedule to have an account
created. If your Student ID Card has the validation
sticker on it for the current semester, no other
information is required.
Why do you need or want an E-mail account:
You need an e-mail account as this is the official method
of communication used at the University. You will also need it to
automatically have a
Blackboard account created,
access the Internet via wireless, to access online Library
materials, as well as access to receive all
billing statements. This
account also allows for free web space (150mb total**) on
the university server. E-mail accounts are free!
E-mail Usage Policy:
To help maintain a secure system, passwords should be
changed frequently (avoiding obvious names), and should
never be given out to others. Account holders are held
responsible for all actions that take place in their
accounts. NOTE: ITS, Univ of Hartford, Webmail and/or
Postmaster will NEVER ask an account holder to verify
account information via email. Please do not respond
to such emails as they are scams to gather your personal
information.
E-Mail Passwords:
To change your e-mail account password, go to one of the
following links.
If you have forgotten your password and need it reset, for
security purposes, you
must go in person
to the Computer Support Center to present your school ID AND
a copy of your current class schedule. Your password will be reset in
1 business day. Note: If your school ID has the
validation sticker for the current semester, that is all
that is needed. If you do not have a school ID, a
Driver's License or Valid State ID Card will be
accepted.
Accessing/Reading your E-Mail:
Once you have your E-mail account, these links will
provide the information needed
to setup a client to read your mail, which is recommended.
It is acceptable to use the online webmail link as well:
