Adjunct Faculty Email and Network Accounts  

Once an adjunct professor has completed all necessary HR forms, a Lotus Notes email account will automatically generate using the professor's 8 letter login code.  This 8 letter login code (known as your "shortname") usually consists of the first 6 letters of your LAST name and the first 2 of your FIRST name. If your last name is less than 6 letters then use your entire last name and as much of your first name as needed to reach 8 letters. (Ex: SMITHJOE for Joe Smith).  Your login code together with our email extension (SHU.EDU) forms your email address. (Ex. SMITHJOE@SHU.EDU )  Your 8 letter designation is also your Domino ID which is used to access email through our Blackboard Portal.

For those faculty without Blackboard access (meaning you are not currently teaching a course), please use this link to access your webmail

If your email account is not active by the time you start your semester (or a few weeks before), please contact the Division of Legal Computing at 973-642-8017 or fill out an online trouble ticket at our virtual helpdesk.  This usually means that some of the necessary HR forms are not complete.

Lotus Notes can be accessed through the Web by using the Webmail link on our current homepage (or by clicking on the W in SETON HALL LAW on our homepage) or by using the full Notes client. When accessing Webmail from home or offsite, please use Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or higher.

It is highly recommended that all first time email users change their passwords to something more private and easily remembered. All passwords must contain at least 5 letters or numbers, with no periods, commas, dashes, spaces or obscure characters.  Please note that your Webmail password and your client password are two different passwords, so changing one does not change the other.  We recommend that you manually synchronize both passwords so that they are more easily remembered.

A Novell network account, however, is not automatically created for adjunct faculty and must be requested by contacting the Division of Legal Computing at x8017 or filling out an on-line request using our virtual helpdesk.  Network accounts can usually be created the same day using your same 8 letter login code. 

Adjunct professors with Novell network logins can access the faculty network on PC located in the law library or student labs. Please make sure that the network pointer for your login is entered as SHLS-FACULTY.

Adjunct faculty with laptop computers and wireless are encouraged to use them in the law building whenever possible.  Please contact the Division of Legal Computing to configure your laptop to our wireless network.
