All Teachers College students 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.

Email

You can activate your email account from 242 Horace Mann or 345 Macy Computer Lab 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.

* Prime-time connect time: 1 hour/day
* Non-prime-time connect time: 2 hours/day
* Weekend connect time: 3 hours/day
