EMAIL ACCOUNT CREATION (Primary Email Address)

Faculty, Staff & Retirees
	Email addresses are created during the hiring process. Faculty, staff, and retirees are usually issued email addresses based on their first initial and last name. The format will be "FSUIDusername"@fsu.edu (Ex: John M Smith would be "JSmith@fsu.edu"). If this address is already in use an additional character may be added (i.e. number or letter). "FSUIDusername"@fsu.edu and password will be your login credentials. Login to your Exchange Email Account.
Students & Alumni
	Email addresses are created after activating an FSUID. Students are normally issued email addresses based on the first initial of their first, middle, last name, and the 2 digit year of admission. The format will be "FSUIDusername"@my.fsu.edu (Ex: John M Smith will be "JMS13@my.fsu.edu"). If this address is already in use an additional character may be added (i.e. number or letter). "FSUIDusername"@my.fsu.edu and password will be your login credentials. This will be the same password used to access Blackboard. Login to your myFSU Home page.
