Exchange accounts provide email, calendaring and scheduling, and other administrative activities (e.g., contact lists, to-do lists, tasks) for faculty and staff. OIT supports the Microsoft Outlook (on Windows machines) and Entourage (on Macs) email clients for access to Exchange accounts.

New permanent employees will be given an Exchange account when they arrive on campus. The Exchange account shares the same username and password with Windows account.

Request an Exchange account

Hourly employees and student workers may request an Exchange account via supervisors or faculty sponsors. The request should be submitted to OIT Help Desk.

All requests need to meet the following criteria:

• The email request is sent from the sponsor's account.
• The message clearly states the request for an Exchange account.
• The request includes the new account holder's username and university status.

Note: Requests cannot be processed if any of the above information is missing.
