Mandatory Student Use of College’s Email System
Email is the official means of communication among all students, faculty and staff at Manhattanville College. Every student is provided with an Office 365 email account and is expected to use it!. The College reserves the right to send email communications to a student’s Office365 email account with the expectation that such communications will be received, opened and read in a timely manner. In many cases, an email will be the ONLY form of notification sent to the student. College faculty use email on a constant basis to conduct classes and expect students to monitor their account as part of their studies. College administration and offices use email to communicate announcements, advisories and important deadlines to the student community. Students will receive a “Welcome” email or letter indicating that their account is ready to be activated. This is done in conjunction with their online portal accounts (see above). The Office of Information Technology assigns everyone an official Manhattanville College email address. This is the college email address that appears in all electronic data applications such as the College web site, Ellucian Colleague system, WebAdvisor online portal, Student Planning, Blackboard, etc. Printed materials such as handbooks and name directories will also display the official College email address. Students are allowed to setup email forwarding to have their Office365 email redirected to another email address (e.g.: Gmail, Hotmail). However, please note that such redirection is done at the student’s own risk. Manhattanville College cannot be responsible for the processing of emails in other email systems or held liable for missed communications that were originally sent to the student’s official email address.
