Students, Faculty & Staff
Faculty, staff and students have access to the full Outlook application on their computers. Additionally, mail can be accessed through the web at http://outlook.com.
Club subscriptions are managed through Fish 'R' Net. More detailed information on managing club subscriptions can be located on the Opting Out of Club Mailing Lists help topic page.
Note: Student network accounts, which includes access to email, are deleted one year after your graduation date. Students who are withdrawn are not eligible to retain their accounts, with the only exception applying to students with intent to return to the University. This applies to student accounts that have graduated and do not have a Withdrawn Without Intent to Return status. Please refer to this article outlining the network account deletion process.
Everyone at St. John Fisher University has a responsibility to protect the privacy and confidentiality of the University, students, and anyone else that we interact with. As part of the daily tasks we sometimes need to send or receive private or personally identifiable information via our email.
The practice of sending private information via email is not encouraged, but if you need to, Fisher uses a service to ensure that the email and any attachments can only be read by the intended external recipient.
To send a secure email:
-
When sending a confidential email to an external recipient, the sender must enter [SECURE] at the beginning of the subject line and then send the message as normal.
-
Including [SECURE] ensures the email is encrypted and delivered through the Microsoft 365 Secure Messaging Portal.
-
The external recipient will receive a notification email from the Microsoft 365 Secure Messaging Portal indicating that they have received a protected message from the SJF sender. The notification includes a link they can use to access the secure message center, where they can view, reply to, or download the email and any attachments.
Group Email Distribution Lists
In support of the University Email Policy [pdf], OIT provides faculty and staff with three group email distribution lists for unofficial email communication. Unofficial email communications are those communications sent out on behalf of an individual as opposed to emails from an academic or administrative unit. The Group Email Distribution Lists [pdf] will show you how to join or leave a group using OWA (webmail).
