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, and a letter is sent in the mail during the
summer with all the pertinent information.
If you registered late or
are a transfer 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 class schedule to have an account
created.
Why do you need or want an E-mail account:
You need an e-mail account if you wish to send or receive
e-mail. You will also need it to access the Internet via a
modem connection, available to both on and off campus
residents, and for various classes. Online Library materials, such as databases
& journals, require an email account for access as
well as access to [Blackboard]. This
account also allows for free web space (50mb 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.
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.
Resources on the mail
server are limited. It is expected that E-mail account
holders will use their disk space allotments in a
responsible fashion, deleting unnecessary files from their
accounts as needed to acquire additional space.
Once you have your E-mail
account, this page will show you the information you need
to setup a client to read your mail:
Everyone is responsible
for reading e-mail delivered to their University account.
If you'd like to have that mail forwarded to a personal
