When using all ºÃÉ«TVl IT services, whether hosted on premises, by an external supplier, or in the cloud, you must comply with the Policy on the Responsible Use of ºÃÉ«TVl Information Technology Resources. You can find this policy in the listing of University Policies, Procedures and Guidelines under Information Technology, at www.mcgill.ca/secretariat/policies-and-regulations.

Your usage of cloud services, whether provided by ºÃÉ«TVl or self-acquired as a consumer service, must respect the Cloud Data Directive. The Cloud Data Directive is also available at www.mcgill.ca/secretariat/policies-and-regulations.

All students are assigned a ºÃÉ«TVl Email Address (usually in the form of firstname.lastname@mail.mcgill.ca) and are given a ºÃÉ«TVl email mailbox. You can view your ºÃÉ«TVl Email Address and set your ºÃÉ«TVl Password on Minerva (www.mcgill.ca/minerva), under the Personal Menu.

Email sent to your ºÃÉ«TVl Email Address is an official means of communication between ºÃÉ«TV and its students. As with all official University communications, it is your responsibility to ensure you read and act upon University emails in a timely fashion. If you have another email account using an external service provider (such as Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc.), please see the Knowledge Base article and choose the most appropriate method for accessing your ºÃÉ«TVl email conveniently.

You should read and familiarize yourself with the policies on Responsible Use of ºÃÉ«TVl Information Technology Resources and Email Communications with Students, found under Information Technology on the University Secretariat website at www.mcgill.ca/secretariat/policies-and-regulations.
