Employee E-mail

When you are hired, an e-mail address is created based on your name. This is your account name followed by @uu.edu. (You should receive a letter from Human Resources or your academic support person containing your account/user name.) This e-mail address is considered an official means of university communication. You are responsible for responding to any messages sent to that account, so you should check it regularly. Your e-mail account also has calendar services associated with it.

You will be able to use your Union e-mail and calendar as long as you are employed by the university.

There are at least four ways you can access your Union e-mail/calendar account:

• Your university computer will have software installed which is dedicated to e-mail and calendar use. Windows PC users will have Microsoft Outlook. Mac users will have Microsoft Entourage or Microsoft Outlook for Mac.
• After a one-time setup in Union's portal (portal.uu.edu) you will be connected to your e-mail and calendar. Once you log into the portal each time, you will also have direct access to other resources that would each require a separate login otherwise. Clicking the 'unread message' count on your portal home page will direct you to your e-mail and calendar.
• You can go directly to your e-mail and calendar at webmail.uu.edu using your Union account name and password.
• If your phone supports Microsoft Exchange e-mail, you can connect it to your Union account. This topic is included in the New Employee FAQs.

Union respects your privacy and will never access your accounts, except in judicial matters or as requested by university administration.
