ACTIVATE YOUR E-MAIL ACCOUNT

When you register for a course at Purchase College, an e-mail account is automatically created for you. Using a Web browser like Internet Explorer or Firefox, you can check your College e-mail from any computer connected to the Internet—including those in the campus computer labs.

• If you are registered for undergraduate credit courses, you must activate your Purchase College e-mail account. It is necessary to access online Library resources, check for flags, check your schedule, and obtain grades. Important notices like class cancellations are communicated via e-mail.
• If you are registered for noncredit courses that are taught in a computer lab or use Moodle, the College’s learning management system, you must also activate your Purchase College e-mail account.
• E-mail account activation is optional for all other students enrolled in noncredit courses.

To activate your new Purchase e-mail account:

• Go to Student Services (studentservices.purchase.edu)
• Click on “Email Account Activations”
• Follow the instructions.
