New Email System for Students
From CIS
The College has now migrated to a new Student Email system: Microsoft Windows Live. The old student email system will be brought completely off line January 27th. The new Live account is to be the official means of electronic communication with all students. Blackboard, SIMS and other centralized systems will utilize the new email addresses.
Students must activate their new account before use. Information on how to do this has been disseminated and continues to be disseminated to students through our Student Computing Helpdesk. In general, a student’s new email address will be their firstname.lastname@mail.citytech.cuny.edu. However, students can obtain their actual email address by going to the following link: http://mail.citytech.cuny.edu/
