E-Mail

Access to electronic mail (E-mail) is a privilege, designed to assist users in the acquisition of knowledge and efficient communication with others. All ECC network user accounts have the capability to use E-mail for internal and external use. While Erie Community College does not prohibit the use of E-mail for personal reasons, users should be aware that the primary intention of providing e-mail service is to support the educational mission of the College and to conduct its daily business.

Your E-mail address is your username, followed by @ecc.edu. Access to College E-mail is available on the web at https://webmail.ecc.edu from any Internet connection for students, faculty and staff. College Information Technology Services (CITS) recommends faculty and staff use Microsoft Outlook while on-campus.

It is the user’s responsibility to protect their E-mail address from unsolicited senders. Users should take precautionary measures to ensure the security of their E-mail account by only giving out their address to individuals or mailing lists from which they wish to receive E-mail, being cautious about using their E-mail address on the Internet or posting it on a Web page. Erie Community College cannot protect individuals from receipt of materials which may be offensive to them. While confidentiality cannot be ensured, E-mail is considered private and confidential (except as noted under the Electronic Mail section.)
