麻豆国产AV

麻豆国产AV's e-mail system is HillConnect, powered by Google.

The information provided below is designed to address some of the more common questions related to using your e-mail account at 麻豆国产AV College.  If you have specific questions regarding the functionality or your account (e.g. how to create "groups"), please try using the Help feature  built-in to your HillConnect account (click on the "gear" icon in the upper right corner of your HillConnect e-mail screen).  If you find that to be insufficient, please contact the LITS Help Desk at 315-859-4181.

Requesting an email account

New Student Accounts: LITS automatically creates e-mail accounts for students when they are admitted.  Consequently, there should never be a need for a student to request an e-mail account for their own personal use.

New Employee Accounts: LITS automatically creates e-mail accounts for employees when we receive official notification from Human Resources.  New faculty accounts are created when we receive official notification from the Dean of Faculty office.

Temporary Employee Accounts:  To request a temporary employee account, please complete the form found at: .  Please notify LITS as far in advance as possible when requesting an account as there are several processes that must take place to ensure your temp has access to all the resources he/she will need.

Departmental Accounts: Accounts for departmental use can be requested by contacting the helpdesk at x4181 or by e-mail at helpdesk@hamilton.edu

Organizational Accounts: Student organizations can request accounts when they register on the Student Activities website.  If the organization elects not to register, they must have an employee/faculty sponsor.

Additional Services
