Activating your NetID
...
At the graduate level, we expect that students are able to balance the needs of their coursework and the ability to manage their inbox. This is a key to professional success and encourage you to take the time now to develop an inbox management approach that fits your work style.
Using your SUMail
Your Syracuse University e-mail account is the official form of communication at Syracuse University. Important information related to your academic success will be sent to this e-mail account; you will need to monitor it.
Once you are matriculated into a graduate program and activate your SU Email, you will NO LONGER receive any emails to your personal email that you provided in the application process.
SUMail is managed by the university and utilizes Microsoft's Office 365 email service. The SU email policy requires that all official university e-mail communications be sent to your @syr.edu email address. To access your SUMail account, visit SUmail. NOTE: SUmail uses the same password for that you set up for your NetID.
