Email Communication
All students are assigned a 51³Ô¹ÏÍøEmail Address (usually in the form of firstname.lastname [at] mail.mcgill.ca) and are given a 51³Ô¹ÏÍøemail mailbox. You can view your 51³Ô¹ÏÍøEmail Address and set your 51³Ô¹ÏÍøPassword on Minerva (www.mcgill.ca/minerva), under the Personal Menu.
Email sent to your 51³Ô¹ÏÍøEmail Address is an official means of communication between 51³Ô¹ÏÍø and its students. As with all official University communications, it is your responsibility to ensure you read and act upon University emails in a timely fashion. If you choose to forward University email to another email mailbox, it is your responsibility to ensure that the alternate email mailbox is valid.
You should read and familiarize yourself with the policies on Responsible Use of 51³Ô¹ÏÍø Information Technology Resources and Email Communications with Students, found under Information Technology on the University Secretariat website at www.mcgill.ca/secretariat/policies/informationtechnology. For more information on email for students, refer to www.mcgill.ca/it and see For your Information Technology (IT) Needs.
