Enrollment | PUC Email - To Use or Not to
Use
When you become a student at Pacific Union College, a PUC email
address is automatically created for you. This is your primary
source of campus news, information about events, and the critical
link between you and your advisor and teachers. You, like most
students, may already have an email address long before you arrive
at PUC (Hotmail, Yahoo, AOL, etc.). You are now responsible to
read your PUC email as well. If you don't, you will be missing
important information. Some common misperceptions about PUC email
include:
1. Is my PUC email address turned off in the
summer, or if I happen to leave PUC for a quarter? This is not
true. Once your address is created, it is not turned off. After
you graduate, if you don’t access your PUC e-mail for six
months your mailbox will be deleted.
2. A system administrator will read my email,
it is not private–again, this is not true. While PUC
does have the ability to read your email (any private institution
does) this would ONLY occur if there was probable cause of
illegal activities
3. All my friends know my current address,
and I don't want to check TWO addresses. This may be true,
but you can forward your PUC email to your current address
so that you can receive both. See instructions below.
What Is My PUC Email Address?
If you are a current student, or have been accepted at PUC your email address
is your first initial, middle initial and last name plus "puc.edu".
(Additional letters of your name will be added if that username is already taken.)
For example the student John Fitzgerald Kennedy would be jfkennedy@puc.edu. If
you are a returning student, your password is the same as what it was previously.
If you are a new student, your original password, that you may change, is the
LAST six digits of your social security number. To use your email address, go
to www.puc.edu, and at the top of the webpage,
click on "webmail". You can also use an email client program such as
Microsoft Outlook, Eudora, or other software to check your mail. If you need
assistance with your address or password, please stop by the ITSS office, you
will need to bring your PUC ID.
