- Instant Messaging

The standard for university faculty and staff email addresses is firstname.lastname@sjsu.edu.
The standard for university student email addresses is firstname.lastname@students.sjsu.edu.
Email addresses are automatically assigned to employees when they are entered into the computer system, MySJSU, as an employee, Emeritus, Volunteer or when a faculty Faculty and Staff Directory contract is entered prior to hire. When your name appears in the Faculty and Staff Directory you will be assigned an email automatically. If your name is not listed in the directory yet then your department will need to make sure your paperwork is complete and turned into Faculty Affairs, for faculty, or HR for staff employees.
Students with email questions or problems will need to contact the University Help desk or visit the Student EMail web page.
Faculty, staff, Emeritus or volunteers with questions or problems with email please visit the University Help Desk EMail web page or contact your department coordinator.
