Student Email

For a variety of reasons, an increasing amount of communication between the college administration and students, as well as between instructors and students is done using e-mail. All students are automatically provided an e-mail account, but an account isn't active and available for use until the student activates the account.

 

It is a good practice to check your e-mail account once a day during the work week.  

 

E-mail services for students are provided free by our telecommunications consortium, MetNet. E-mail addresses provided by MetNet look like username@metnet.edu with each person having their own username. The MetNet e-mail address is used by the college administration and many instructors to communicate with students. Check it at least weekly, and daily if used by one of your instructors. MetNet provides a web e-mail client application. POP3 and IMAP e-mail client applications may also be used; see the MetNet site for configuration details.

 

MetNet e-mail accounts must be activated before use.

 

Basic e-mail account details:

• username is the first four letters of your last name followed by a four digit number; the username is allow the username for your campus network account.
• password is set by your and initially set during activation; your campus network account password can be used as your e-mail account password
• e-mail address is your-user-name@metnet.edu
