7. How do I access my e-mail and other network services?

Usernames, ID's and Passwords
You will not be able to access the internet or e-mail until ITS assigns you a Net ID. Your Technology Coordinator will help you procure one, and should be able to lead you through the initial steps of logging in and setting up a password. ITS has a page to explain the differences between the various passwords and ID numbers you will have. Once you have a Net ID, you will want to read about the MyUAlbany portal.

Email and internet
When you log onto MyUAlbany for the first time it will ask you to create a complex password to access several functions. This password can be used to access different information systems (including e-mail, webmail, and Blackboard) by clicking the box next to each system for which you hope to use that password. Some faculty members like the added security of having three separate passwords.
