How Do I Get an Email Address and Network Account?
Students: Once you have sent in your deposit, your accounts are created for you. A letter will be sent to your home address prior to the start of the semester with your email address and network log-in information. If you have been admitted just prior to the start of the semester, contact the Admissions Office to get your information.
Faculty/Staff: Once all of your employment paperwork has been filed with Human Resources, your accounts are created. All of your information is returned to Human Resources, so contact them for your information.
How Do I Check My Email?
You check your email by going to Mailport, which is powered by Gmail. We have several pages of support, tips, and videos to help you get the most out of your email.
Spam and Trash Deletion
Most of your spam will go directly into your spam folder. Occasionally, messages that you actually want are also tagged as spam. You should check the spam folder every few days to make sure nothing of importance has been tagged.
Spam is automatically deleted from your spam folder after 30 days. Messages in your Trash folder are automatically deleted 30 days after the message was trashed.
What is a Network Account?
When you are using a computer on campus, you are required to log into the campus network. By logging in, you have access to all of your network drives and folders, including your P-drive (your personal drive). The P-drive is a place where you can store important files and the files will be backed up by IT, so you will never lose anything. In addition, you can access your P-drive from anywhere on campus or even from home. So, work you do in one location can be retrieved in another location. We strongly encourage you to keep all of your work in a network folder to ensure that nothing is lost if your computer is ever to crash.
