E-Mail Instructions |
|
| |
|
| OU student
(Oak) e-mail can be accessed from any computer,
anywhere--just like Hotmail or Yahoo--and it's
FREE! |
|
| |
|
Here are the
benefits of using your Oak account instead of having
your mail forwarded to another web-based e-mail
account…
- Students will ONLY
receive their grade reports in their Oak e-mail
mailboxes. No paper copies will be mailed out!
- The university utilizes
e-mail as a primary means to communicate with
students and as a student of OU-HCOM; reading
your Oak e-mail is YOUR responsibility. Often,
students miss important e-mail messages from
OU-HCOM because their Hotmail or Yahoo mailboxes
are full. These e-mails then get returned to the
sender without ever reaching the intended
recipients.

For
your information, here is a breakdown of storage
space of some popular e-mail programs:
- Yahoo--4 MB of free
storage space
- Hotmail--2 MB of free
storage space
- Ohio University Oak
E-mail--a whopping 12 MB of free storage
space that can be accessed from anywhere on or
off campus!

how! |

If you've never activated your Oak account e-mail, here are the simple steps you'll need to know to get your Oak account up and running:
- You'll need your Social Security number and your Registration Access Code (RAC). Your RAC can be found on your most recent grade report. If you don't know your RAC, call the Student Affairs office(1-800-444-2156) and
Molly can help you with this information .

If you don't know your Oak login ID:
If you've never used your
Oak login ID before and don't even know what
that is, simply go to Ohio University's home
page at
www.ohio.edu and do a people search (top
right hand corner of page) for yourself. Your Oak
login ID will be on the directory results page
that comes up and will be your initials followed
by a series of numbers (for example, rz682902)
|
| |
|
If you forget your student Oak account password or
are unable to get your password to work:
You can have it reset by
calling the Support Center (740-593-1222) with
your full name, Social Security number and
current Registration Access Code (RAC). Again,
if you don't know your RAC, contact Molly in Student Affairs for assistance
(1-800-444-2156) and we'll be glad to get you
this information.

You'll need your Oak login
ID and your current valid password. This
information can be entered and the password
changed at this link:
https://redbud.cats.ohiou.edu/cgi-bin/oakrpc/oakpasswd
Once you have your valid
password and Oak ID, you can access your Oak
account from any computer on the planet that is
connected via the Internet from this link:
https://webmail.ohiou.edu/
You can also access it on
or off campus at the Ohio University Front Door:
