How do I get e-mail?

Through an overnight process, an e-mail account will automatically be generated for you. Your e-mail address begins with an assigned unique ID, usually the first six letters of your last name and the initials of your first and middle name followed by @muohio.edu. If you have a common name and initials you may have a number instead of an initial.

The first time you check on your e-mail account, you need to use the default password which is the month and day of your birth, followed by the last four digits of your social security number (mm/dd/ssss).
