All students are assigned a McGill Email Address (usually in the form of firstname.lastname@mcgill.ca) and are given a McGill email mailbox. You can view your McGill Email Address and set your McGill Password on Minerva (
www.mcgill.ca/minerva), under the
Personal Menu.
Email sent to your McGill Email Address is an official means of communication between McGill University 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
Code of Conduct for Users of McGill Computing Facilities and
Email Communications with Students policies 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
section 4.7 “For Your Information Technology (IT) Needs”.
