E-mail addresses and passwords are assigned to individuals. E-mail addresses are considered public information and may be found in student directory or faculty directory.

Passwords are not to be shared. You are encouraged to select an obscure password and change it frequently.

Access to and use of e-mail is a privilege and should be treated as such by all users. 

Campus computing resources, including e-mail, may not be used for illegal or unauthorized purposes including:

• Harassment
• Destruction of or damage to equipment, software, or data belonging to others
• The disruption or unauthorized monitoring of electronic communications

Using e-mail to participate in illegal acts is, itself, illegal and may result in prosecution by state and federal authorities. 

Use of e-mail for private business purposes unrelated to the University is NOT allowed.

You are responsible for using system resources wisely. If you use the system in ways that are judged excessive or wasteful, your access to the system may be taken away, and you may be subject to University disciplinary procedures. E-mail is a powerful tool. Used carelessly, it can annoy other people and damage your reputation. Used intelligently, it can make all of our jobs easier.

Some uses that may be deemed "wasteful" include chain letter emails, mass mailing of jokes, political campaigning, and mass mailing of items for sale or lost and found. This is also known as SPAM forwarding. Official mass emails should be submitted to faculty and staff or club advisors. If you have a message you feel is important to share with the entire campus, you may fill out our online form for posting on UMC Today.

Note: Use of email or Web accounts for private business purposes unrelated to the University is NOT allowed.
