The Old Dominion University e-mail system is the official electronic mail system for distributing course-related communications, policies, announcements and other information. In addition, the University e-mail user ID and password are necessary for authentication and access to numerous electronic resources (on-line courses, faculty web pages, Blackboard, FSCS, etc.)
Activating the Email Account
Faculty and staff need to fill out the Account Request form in order to receive an email account. The form can be obtained from the Customer Service Center located at 1500 Webb Center or it can be downloaded here.
Accessing the Email Account
Faculty and staff can access their email two ways, and potentially have two different passwords for their email account.
- Client Password - This is the password used to access Lotus Notes when logged into a university computer connected to the network.
- Browser Password - This is the password used when the faculty or staff member is using fsnotes.odu.edu (academic departments) or admnotes.odu.edu (administrative departments) to access email from a remote site.
