student email

The UIS campus email system is Microsoft Exchange 2003. Students use their campus Network ID [NetID] to access their UIS email.

  • A student's NetID [and email] remains active as long as a student is enrolled. NetIDs also remain active between semesters and over the summer semester.
  • Each student's mailbox is allotted 250MB of email storage space. Once that limit is reached, no email can be sent or received until the mailbox is back under the 250MB limit.
  • A student's email address is the student's NetID followed by @uis.edu: NetID@uis.edu.

Every student is included in an email distribution list which is used for official university communications and announcements to students.
