Your email will be set up with the University "Pantheon"
system. Steps to make this happen: (1) Discover
your "NetID" from your department administrator.
(2) Request email account using your "NetID"
by your department administrator or business office.
You will receive a PIN number which you must use
to activate
your NetID -- to define a password for your
NetID. (3) The Pantheon account should be available
approximately 20 minutes later.
Alternative Process: Visit the University ITS Accounts
Office at 221 Whitney Avenue with your Yale ID card
or letter of appointment.

This method is required if you want high-speed DSL
or cable modem service.
