Email
accounts are available to all John Jay students, faculty and staff. The
email system runs on a web based platform, which means it can be accessed
from anywhere in the world by going to student.jjay.cuny.edu(for
students) or email.jjay.cuny.edu(for
faculty and staff), and entering your account and password. College email
utilizes Sun Microsystem iPlanet, virus protection and spam filtering.
As of September 2006, there are approximately 15,000 student accounts
and 2,000 faculty and staff accounts. Storage space for maintaining emails
is 4Mb for students (to be increased to 16Mb through Student Technology
Fee funding), and 16Mb for faculty and staff.
Since 2004, email accounts for all incoming and current students are
automatically created under a procedure called Universal Email. All students
are encouraged to use and maintain their John Jay email account for important
correspondence from and within the college community. Faculty and staff
email accounts are also created automatically when hired.
