Did You Get Your EagleMail?

It is very important for all UNT students to have an EagleMail account. If you are a student and don't have an account, please get one A.S.A.P. If you are a faculty member, please encourage your students to get an account as it will facilitate your (and the University's) ability to communicate with your classes via Bulk E-mail.

Students are required by University policy to activate and read their UNT E-mail, called EagleMail. Faculty and staff can also follow the procedure below to activate a UNT Internet Services account if they require network dial-up or other services provided with that account.

If you already have an EagleMail (or UNT Internet) account, you do not have to do this again. This ID/password is needed to access the UNT student E-mail services, as well as the UNT Internet Services.

To Activate EagleMail or UNT Internet Services:

• Go to http://getlogin.unt.edu/
• Complete the requested information (UNT ID#, Birthdate, and Last Name)
• When asked, type in your own unique password.
• Be sure to record your E-mail address somewhere so you can remember it, as the “secure” form will not print from your browser.
• The Internet account will be activated at 8:30pm the same day you apply.

To use EagleMail:

• After your account is activated, you can access your UNT EagleMail.
• Go to http://eaglemail.unt.edu/
• Put in your UNT Internet account ID (usually 2 to 3 initials and 4 numbers).
• Put in your self-assigned password.

To change your password/forward your mail:

• Go to the Account Management Page: http://people.unt.edu/manage
• Log in with your EagleMail (or UNT Internet) Account ID and password.
• From the menu select “Change Your Password”. You can also select "Email Services" and choose to forward your mail to another Internet Service Provider or GroupWise account from this menu.
