How to get an
E-mail account:
All University of Hartford students, faculty and
staff may request an e-mail account. New students have their accounts
automatically created upon registering for a class. A University
of Hartford mailer is sent to their permanent home address containing EMail information and E-billing
information. Password resets must be done in person.
A University ID (or Driver's License or State ID Card) AND
current class schedule are required. If your Student ID Card has the
validation sticker on it for the current semester, no other information
is required. You will need to go to the [Computer Support Center],
room CC113 for the reset request.
Why
do you need or want an E-mail account:
You need an e-mail account as this is the official method of
communication used at the University. You will also need it to
automatically have a Blackboard
account created, access the Internet via wireless, to access online
Library materials, as well as access to receive all billing
statements. This account also allows for free web
space (200mb 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. NOTE: ITS, Univ of
Hartford, Webmail and/or Postmaster will NEVER ask an account holder to
verify account information via email. Please do not respond to
such emails as they are scams to gather your personal information.
E-Mail
Passwords:
To change your e-mail account password, go to one of the following
links.

·
[Faculty - Staff E-Mail/
Hartford Account Password Change]
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.
