Email Accounts

The official communication tool for Northwestern University is email, and as a condition of employment with SCS, you must maintain an active Northwestern email account. All instructors receive a free network-services account (NetID). Your email account also provides internet access to the university's on-line library databases, the internet, the Course-Management (Blackboard) system, grading, and access to enrollment numbers and rosters.

If a non-Northwestern email account is your primary email, you may choose to forward your Northwestern email to your primary email account. For this service, go to the website http://snap.it.northwestern.edu/it/mailtools, and select "Turn on mail forwarding".
