Enquiries were made today (25/7/08) from the CPIT IT department about student email addresses at Polytech.
These are the facts:
1) All currently enrolled students are given one, however, they must ask their IT to ACTIVATE it before they can use it.
2) The formula is still username@student.cpit.ac.nz i.e. their own specific username not the word.
3) Many students don’t bother to have their email address activated BUT if they wish to enrol at UC as a reciprocal student, they must provide their official student email address. This is a mandatory field in the registration programme.
Don’t let any of them persuade you that there has been a Big Change recently. Urban myth.
