If you've never used your Net ID and Net ID password before you should immediately browse to Webmail, enter your UTHSC Net ID and the following default formula password:

Example birthday 9/1/82 (September 1st, 1982) and SSN 123456789

Use th first 2 letters of your birth month with first letter uppercase, second letter lower case = Se
Followed by the last 2 numbers of your birth year = 82
Followed by the last 4 numbers of your SSN = 6789

So your password would be Se826789.

The first time that you login to Exchange you use your Net ID as your username. If you do not know your Net ID, browse to the UTHSC home page, click in People Search and look yourself up. Your Net ID will be displayed there.

The password starts off conforming to a default formula. The formula is as follows: the first two letters of your birth month (first letter uppercase, second letter lowercase), followed by the last 2 numbers of your birth year, followed by the last 4 numbers of your SSN.

As an example, someone with a birthdate of May 1, 1960 and a SSN of 123456789 would have the password: Ma606789.

Exchange:
Microsoft Exchange is the name of the e-mail, calendaring, and groupware system at UTHSC. Multiple programs can be used to connect to this system to retrieve and send e-mail as well as use the calendaring features. These types of programs are called Exchange clients.

Outlook:
Outlook is the Exchange client used on a Windows computer to connect to the Exchange mail system to check your email, edit your calendar, etc. Outlook 2010 is the latest Exchange email client for Windows. Outlook 2010 can be downloaded by UTHSC faculty and staff for use on university equipment by going to http://www.uthsc.edu/helpdesk/office.php. You must login with your Exchange mail username and password to get to the download.

Outlook 2011 for Macintosh:
Outlook 2011 is the latest Exchange client for the Macintosh OS. Office 2011 for Macintosh (which includes Outlook) can be downloaded by UTHSC faculty and staff for use on university computers. You must login with your Exchange mail username and password to get to the download. Click on our " Microsoft Office Distribution Page for more download information.

Outlook Web Access:
Outlook Web Access is an Exchange client used to access your Exchange account that does not require an additional program to be installed on the computer. Customers connect to Outlook Web Access over the web through a web browser. For the most part, "Exchange Web Mail " and "Outlook Web Access" (OWA) can be used interchangeably when referring to the UT email and groupware system. The internet address for the Outlook Web Access page from which you can access your Exchange Web Mail account is http://exchange.uthsc.edu.

The UTHSC strongly encourages all UTHSC students to take advantage of our UTHSC webmail found at http://exchange.uthsc.edu.

The UTK Technology store can sell you these products for a discount. The Technology Store website is at https://utbookstore.org/technology/.

The following is file is a great Exchange Webmail tutorial.

Without a Net ID you cannot have an Exchange mailbox created. For most employees and students, Net IDs are automatically created during the hire and enrollment processes. You can check and see if you have a Net ID by entering your name into the People Search on the UTHSC home page.

If for some reason you do not have a Net ID and you need e-mail services, please have a UTHSC staff or faculty member who is responsible for your work efforts at the university fill out a Net ID online request by clicking on ILogin on the UTHSC home page.

Your sponsor must login with their Net ID and password, click on Administration, and then on "Net ID Online Request/Renewal". If you are approved for a Net ID, both your sponsor and the UTHSC Helpdesk will be notified via e-mail. Your Net ID value will be in that email message.

Students:
Students will retain their Exchange account one calendar year after their LeftUT date in the UT Directory. At the end of this year, the student's account and all forwarding will be deleted. For this reason, we recommend that every student who leaves UT set up email forwarding at the Exchange Account Management page as soon as they leave UT.

Faculty and Staff:
The email accounts of faculty and staff will be deleted 90 days after their LeftUT date is set in the UT Directory. However, for a period of one year after leaving UT, faculty and staff will be able to forward all mail. For this reason, a faculty and staff member who leaves UT should immediately set up email forwarding at the Exchange Acccount Management page upon their departure.
