University of Rochester
Connecting from Off Campus
There are several ways in which University of Rochester students, faculty and staff can access their email messages from off campus. Email can be accessed through the web or via email clients.
Access mail via the web
Access mail via email client
Users can access their UR email messages through an email client (such as Outlook or Entourage) by setting up a Virtual Private Network (VPN). VPN allows users to access University-restricted materials (in this case, email messages) through a secure connection. (NOTE: You will need an Internet connection to do this.)
For more information or clarification about email forwarding, contact the IT Help Desk at (585) 275-2000.
