Responsible Use of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Information Technology Resources
When using all Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ IT services, whether hosted on premises, by an external supplier, or in the cloud, you must comply with the Policy on the Responsible Use of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Information Technology Resources as approved by the University Senate. You can find this policy in the listing of University Policies, Procedures and Guidelines under Information Technology, at www.mcgill.ca/secretariat/policies/informationtechnology.
Your usage of cloud services, whether provided by Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ or self-acquired as a consumer service, must respect the Cloud Data Directive. The Cloud Data Directive is also available at www.mcgill.ca/secretariat/policies/informationtechnology.
Email Communication
Email Communication
All students are assigned a Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Email Address (usually in the form of firstname.lastname@mail.mcgill.ca) and are given a Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ email mailbox. You can view your Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Email Address and set your Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Password on Minerva (www.mcgill.ca/minerva), under the Personal Menu.
Email sent to your Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Email Address is an official means of communication between Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ and its students. As with all official University communications, it is your responsibility to ensure you read and act upon University emails in a timely fashion. If you choose to forward University email to another email mailbox, it is your responsibility to ensure that the alternate email mailbox is valid.
You should read and familiarize yourself with the policies on Responsible Use of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Information Technology Resources and Email Communications with Students, found under Information Technology on the University Secretariat website at www.mcgill.ca/secretariat/policies/informationtechnology. For more information on email for students, refer to www.mcgill.ca/it and see For your Information Technology (IT) Needs.
