Faculty and staff are entitled to two email accounts at Teachers College. First, the Exchange server is used primarily for internal College correspondence, College mailing distribution lists, and as the default mail address for most staff and faculty. Additionally, all Teachers College faculty and staff are eligible for Cunix computer accounts, which provide e-mail and access to the Internet. You may also create your own World Wide Web home page.


E-mail

You can create an exchange account by calling the CIS HelpDesk at (212) 678 - 3300 to set up an account. You can activate your cunix email account from the 242 Horace Mann or 345 Macy computer labs on campus. Visit the Computer Lab closest to you and connect to Columbia's Email web page to create or activate a new account. You will then be assigned a userid, which is your initials followed by a number (e.g. gs56). This userid followed by "@columbia.edu then becomes your email address (e.g. gs56@columbia.edu). You can also dial in from off-campus using your own Macintosh or PC-compatible computer with a modem and phone line or DSL/Cable line. In the event that the process fails, call the Academic Computing office at x3302.

TC faculty and staff are eligible for free basic accounts, which provide the following:
* Prime-time connect time: 1 hour/day
* Non-prime-time connect time: 2 hours/day
* Weekend connect time: 3 hours/day
* Disk storage: 20 MB
* Access to all computer clusters, electronic classrooms when not in use, and the large lab in 215 International Affairs
* Access to AcIS Dial-Up Network Service
