Your City Tech Microsoft 365 account provides you with access to many Microsoft apps and programs, including Outlook, which is our email platform. Please check your email regularly! Your email account will be the primary way the college will communicate with you, including sending time-sensitive requests and invitations from the department as well as important contract and payroll information, announcements, etc. from the college at large. You should also make every effort to communicate with your students using your City Tech account.

The user name for your email address and your CUNYFirst login follows the pattern firstname.lastname+the last two digits of your EMPLID. (e.g. jane.doe22@…)

To set up your email account, you will use your CUNYFirst login and password. For users who do not have a CUNYfirst login, please email Sandra Williams (Office of Faculty & StaffRelations) slwilliams@citytech.cuny.edu with your completed POI form attached, or reach out to Lily (lily.lam33@citytech.cuny.edu) for more information.

Here are the instructions from the IT Department for how to log in to a new email account:
