Trinity Email
Trinity Email Address Format
Trinity e-mail addresses are composed of a username and a domain
with a the "@" between the two: username@domain
Username
For everybody, the username is the individual's last name and first
initial. If that username is already taken (as in the case of Joan
Doe arriving at Trinity after Janet Doe), the username will be the
last name plus the initial two letters of the first name. If two
individuals have the same first and last name, a middle initial
will be used.
Jane Q. Doe's username would be "doej"
Joan Doe, arriving after Jane, would have the username "doejo"
Jane P. Doe, arriving after Jane Q., would have the username "doejp"
Domain Name
For students, the domain is students.trinitydc.edu.
For faculty and staff, the domain is simply trinitydc.edu
Examples
Student John Smith will have the email address "smithj@students.trinitydc.edu"
Faculty member John Doe will have the email address "doej@trintydc.edu"

 Accessing
Your Email
Trinity now uses Microsoft Outlook for campus email, enabling users
to work together more productively. With a Trinity email account,
you can access your email on the web from any computer connected
to the Internet—just follow these easy instructions:
If you are a student, point your browser to http://www.trinitydc.edu/current/.
If you are a Trinity employee, use http://www.trinitydc.edu/facultystaff/
instead. You should see a screen like the one on the right.
Enter your Username in the first field. Your username is what precedes
the "@" in your full email address. Generally, this will
be your last name, plus the first letter of your first name. Thus,
"smithj" would be John Smith's username, in
most cases.
Enter your password in the second field. If you do not know your
password, please dial extension 9811 for the Technology Services
Help Desk. If you are having difficulty with your password, be sure
you are using the correct capitalization.
Press the "Log On" button.
 Using
Your Email
Once you have logged on using the above instructions, you will
see a screen like the one at the right, which is divided into three
columns.
The first column lists your email folders and other outlook tools.
To view your incoming email, click "Inbox."
The second column lists emails inside the selected folder from
column one, including who wrote the email, and when it was sent.
Click on an email to read it.
The third column displays the selected message.
To compose a new email, or to reply to an email you have received,
use the buttons above columns two and three.
When you are done using the web mail system, be sure to click the
"Log Off" button in the upper right corner of the screen.
This will stop others from using the same computer from accessing
your private information.
For help using email contact the Technology Services Help Desk
at extension 9811. Send your email-related questions to helpdesk@trinitydc.edu.
Changing Your Password
 After you have successfully logged into email, you may change your password. To change your password, click on the "Options" button in the lower left-hand corner of the screen. On the right side of the screen, scroll all the way down until you see the "Change Password" button.
A new window will appear which will allow you to change your email password. Begin by typing in your username, old password, new password, and new password confirmation. Press "Save" when finished.
