Ã山ǿ¼é

When using all Ã山ǿ¼é IT services, whether hosted on premises, by an external supplier, or in the cloud, you must comply with the Policy on the Responsible Use of Ã山ǿ¼é Information Technology Resources. You can find this policy in the listing of University Policies, Procedures and Guidelines under Information Technology, at www.mcgill.ca/secretariat/policies-and-regulations.

Your usage of cloud services, whether provided by Ã山ǿ¼é or self-acquired as a consumer service, must respect the Cloud Data Directive. The Cloud Data Directive is also available at www.mcgill.ca/secretariat/policies-and-regulations.

All students are assigned a Ã山ǿ¼é Email Address (usually in the form of firstname.lastname@mail.mcgill.ca) and are given a Ã山ǿ¼é email mailbox. You can view your Ã山ǿ¼é Email Address and set your Ã山ǿ¼é Password on Minerva (www.mcgill.ca/minerva), under the Personal Menu.

Email sent to your Ã山ǿ¼é Email Address is an official means of communication between Ã山ǿ¼é 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 have another email account using an external service provider (such as Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc.), please see the Knowledge Base article and choose the most appropriate method for accessing your Ã山ǿ¼é email conveniently.

You should read and familiarize yourself with the policies on Responsible Use of Ã山ǿ¼é Information Technology Resources and Email Communications with Students, found under Information Technology on the University Secretariat website at www.mcgill.ca/secretariat/policies-and-regulations. For more information on email for students, refer to www.mcgill.ca/it.
