A Word about electronic Mail (e-mail)
E-mail is the generic term given to the electronic transfer of messages between users of computer systems. All of our central systems provide e-mail to and from users of the same system, other systems, or the Internet. To use e-mail you must have an access account for a particular system or file server and know the recipient's proper e-mail address. You need not be concerned with the path your mail takes.

For all members of the College community with computer access accounts, a uniform mail address is used. This address is:

firstname.lastname@qc.cuny.edu

The character between the names is ".", which is the period key on most keyboards. This address must be used appropriately for the mail program on the system you are using. Persons outside the College can also use this form of address to send mail to persons at the College. For more information on e-mail, please contact the Office of Converging Technologies's Help Desk 4444, or drop by the office in the Dining Hall (DH), Room 151.
