University IT provides e-mail accounts to approximately 10,000 individuals
throughout the University community. Typically, students in The
College and Eastman School of Music and most College faculty and
staff have e-mail accounts on the Unix server (mail.rochester.edu).
Staff of the University's Central Administration typically have
accounts on the Microsoft Exchange server (mail.acs.rochester.edu).
Students normally will have their e-mail account information
sent to them before their arrival at the University
The University/College does not generally provide free email
accounts for graduate students. Some departments or graduate schools
do provide email accounts for grad students. See the administrator
of your department or grad school for more information.
Mailing lists allow you to send an e-mail message to a single
address and then have that message be automatically delivered to
a large group of people. Mailing lists allow easy two-way communication
between you and the other members of your mailing list.
In order to provide a consistent and easy-to-use convention
for e-mail addresses throughout the University, faculty, staf, and students
can request mail forwarding so that mail sent to firstname.lastname@rochester.edu
will be forwarded to their department e-mail box.
You do not need to reconfigure your e-mail reader (e.g. Eudora, Outlook
) or resubscribe to any mailing lists.
