Understanding SU E-mail
Syracuse University has established e-mail as a primary vehicle for official communication with students. As part of your NetID, you will be assigned an official SU e-mail address to which all University communications will be sent, including faculty and administrative correspondence. Your SU e-mail address consists of your NetID userid followed by @syr.edu and can be easily accessed through MyMail, the SU Web-based student e-mail system.
Students are expected to maintain their official syr.edu e-mail accounts and check the accounts daily to ensure timely receipt of information. Failure to do so does not absolve students from knowing and complying with the content of such communications.
Learning about MyMail [TOP]
SU students use MyMail to access their official syr.edu e-mail accounts. You can gain access to MyMail and begin using your e-mail account immediately by activating your NetID. MyMail is a Web-based e-mail package.
- it's free
- it's easy to use
- it comes with 50 MB of storage space
To learn more about MyMail, visit the MyMail web site.
Forwarding E-mail [TOP]
The University recommends that students access their official syr.edu e-mail account by using MyMail.
Those who want to redirect their syr.edu e-mail to another address, such as @hotmail.com, @yahoo.com, or @aol.com, do so at their own risk. The University is not responsible for e-mail handled by other service providers. Redirecting e-mail does not absolve students from knowing and complying with the content of the communications sent to their official syr.edu account.
To forward your syr.edu e-mail to another address, visit the e-mail aliasing page and follow the instructions.
