Email Communication
All students are assigned a 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Email Address (usually in the form of firstname.lastname@mail.mcgill.ca) and are given a 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ email mailbox. You can view your 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Email Address and set your 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Password on Minerva (www.mcgill.ca/minerva), under the Personal Menu.
Email sent to your 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Email Address is an official means of communication between 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ 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 choose to forward University email to another email mailbox, it is your responsibility to ensure that the alternate email mailbox is valid.
You should read and familiarize yourself with the policies on Responsible Use of 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Information Technology Resources and Email Communications with Students, found under Information Technology on the University Secretariat website at www.mcgill.ca/secretariat/policies/informationtechnology.
