There are two options for email at UT.

UTmail - Which is available to students, faculty and staff and is made available through Google.

Note:  Faculty and staff qualify for a UTmail business account, but will be activated deactivated when employment with the university has ended.  University retirees are eligible to keep their account upon retirement.

 

Office 365 - Which is available to UT faculty and staff and delivers Outlook as a web service.

Note:  Faculty and staff Office 365 accounts are created by ECE-IT.  Please stop by UTA 6.508 or email help@ece.utexas.edu indicating your affiliation with ECE (e.g. new faculty or staff member)

  • You require email encryption or digital signature.
  • Your data is export controlled or subject to a Technology Control Plan, Non-Disclosure Agreement or Sensitive Data Control Plan.
  • Your data is specifically protected by Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act HIPAA or Federal Information Security Management Act FISMA.
  • Your data is specifically protected by a contract (e.g., NSF, NIH, DOE) and prohibits the use of 3rd party services such as Google's Gmail service.
