[Gradschool] IMPORTANT: New Islander e-mail Address

[Wisner, Liza]

FROM: Dr. Eliot Chenaux

This is a public notice. Please do not respond to this e-mail.

To: All Texas A&M University- Corpus Christi students

You now have a new Islander e-mail address. (Kestrel will no longer be 
used.) This e-mail address will be the University's means of 
communicating with you. Via this email address, you will receive billing

notifications and other official University announcements.

The need for an official University e-mail address is extremely 
important, especially in light of the Virginia Tech tragedy and with our

current hurricane season in effect. Communication with students is the 
key to our safety. 

To set-up or find your new e-mail account:

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE YOUR NEW STUDENT ID NUMBER:
1. Your new student ID number will begin with an "A" followed by
numbers. 
Go to the University homepage at http://www.tamucc.edu and click on the 
S.A.I.L. link. Go to my "My Student ID" in the left-hand column.
2. Enter your social security. Your pin will be the same number you use 
when you register for classes on-line. Follow instructions and go to 
"Computer Services Account". 
3. Select the button titled "Islander Student E-mail". Enter your new 
Student ID number and date of birth. Your new e-mail account and
password 
will be provided to you. 
4. Once the information has been retrieved, go to: 
http://islander.tamucc.edu/mail to access your web-based email system. 
Please remember user ID's and passwords are case sensitive. 

IF YOU HAVE YOUR NEW STUDENT ID NUMBER:
1. If you know your new Student ID number (which begins with an "A") go 
to http://newuser.tamucc.edu and then follow steps three and four above.

Set up your e-mail account as soon as possible. For more assistance, you

can contact our student computer helpdesk at 361-825-5618. 
New e-mail accounts are created daily. If you've recently been accepted,

please give the University one business day to process your new account.


If you previously received an email regarding this subject, we
apologize, 
this is an updated version.

Sincerely,
H. Eliot Chenaux, Ph.D.
Vice President for Student Affairs
