University IT provides email 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 email 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 email 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.
