Student E-mail

The University has established the following guidelines for eligibility for Groupwise e-mail accounts. In order to qualify for an e-mail account administered by Emporia State University, you must meet at least one of these criteria:

    1. ESU Faculty or Staff
    2. ESU Departments, Offices, and officially recognized Student Organizations
    3. Emeritus/retired faculty and retired staff
    4. Currently enrolled ESU Students

All ESU students receive a complimentary e-mail account, as well as 25 MB of web-accessible disk storage. The disk storage is used for storing files related to homework assignments or creating course-related web pages. Additional disk storage or web space may be requested by contacting the TCS Help Desk.

Usernames and Passwords are usually created in the following format:
           Username: first initial of first name and 7 characters of last name

                 Example: Jennifer Anderson=janderso
           Password: Last 6 digits of your student ID number

Account Maintenance and Usage

TCS reserves the right to access the user account when required for maintenance or when authorized to investigate allegations of illegal or unethical usage. TCS reserves the right to delete any mail in the account that is older than 180 days. Mailbox size is limited to 25 MB. If the mailbox exceeds 25MB, the user will not be allowed to send mail. TCS will deactivate accounts one year after the last enrolled semester. E-mail accounts will normally be available during maintenance, but TCS will make every effort to inform the ESU community of planned outages.
