Concordia University E-mail Service for all Students and Faculty

Email communication is a vital piece of the educational environment at Concordia University (CSP).  Citing university policy, every undergraduate and graduate student and faculty member is provided with a CSP email account and these individuals are responsible for information that it contains.  Fulltime, traditional students and faculty access this account by using the Outlook program located on their laptop. 

 

Students and faculty who are not located on campus gain access to their email account via the web using Microsoft OWA (Outlook Web Access).  Instructions for logging into the Microsoft OWA account can be found on the Concordia University Local Page: http://www.csp.edu/local

 

The Concordia University Information and Technology department strongly encourages the use of Microsoft OWA for all members living off campus, but also recognizes that many individuals use non-CSP email accounts.  If, for some reason, the service through Microsoft OWA is not adequate for an individual’s needs, they now have the opportunity to forward their CSP email account to a non-CSP account.  This service will only forward future emails and will not forward any existing emails in a person’s CSP email inbox.  The individual is still responsible for the existing content.

 

Concordia University has developed several guidelines for having emails forwarded to a non-CSP account:

1)      The individual is responsible for the accuracy of the forwarding address and non-CSP account.

2)      Once the forwarded email has left the Concordia network, it is no longer the responsibility of the university.

3)      Concordia administrative offices will continue to address and send the email to the CSP account which then may be forwarded onto the non-CSP account.

4)      A request to have email forwarded may take one to two business days to process.

5)      Once the forwarding request has been processed a confirmation email will be sent to the non-CSP account.

6)      Individuals wishing to forward the CSP account will have two options

a.       In person: Bring the signed form and CSP ID card to the CSP Helpdesk. 

b.      Via email: Log into the CSP email account.  Send an email from that account to noncspemail@csp.edu .  The first name, last name, CSP username, L number, and new forwarded address must all be provided

 

These guidelines are in place to protect email privacy and user security.
