Tips for Maintaining Your Student E-Mail Account
 
ACCESSING YOUR ACCOUNT:
Access your account by visiting https://school.smfa.edu. Your login or username is typically the first letter of your first name, plus your last name. For example, Jasper Johns is JJohns. Your address is username@fpx.smfa.edu (for example, JJohns@fpx.smfa.edu). If there is an apostrophe or hyphen in your name, please omit these from the username.

ACCOUNT CAPACITY:
Your account has a maximum capacity of 50 MB.  When your account is at 30 MB you will receive a warning about its size. When your account reaches 40 MB you will receive e-mails but will be unable to send them. Finally, when your account reaches 50 MB you will be unable to send or receive e-mails.

MANAGING YOUR ACCOUNT:
To keep down the size of your account, delete any e-mails containing large attachments. Keep in mind that unless you manually empty your Deleted Mail folder, e-mails will remain there undeleted. Sometimes e-mails in your Deleted Mail folder or your Draft folder will clog up your account.

CHECK YOUR ACCOUNT FREQUENTLY!
Important information is being sent to your account on a regular basis. Staff sends information regarding deadlines, events, opportunities, and other topics of interest weekly. As a student, you can have your information about an event or art project forwarded to all students by e-mailing studentaffairs@smfa.edu.

YOUR PASSWORD:
Your password for your e-mail is linked to your password for the network in the Mac Lab on the second floor of the Main Building (230 The Fenway). If you change your network password in the Mac Lab, your e-mail password will automatically change. It is recommended that you change your password at the end of each semester to protect the security of your account.

QUESTIONS OR PROBLEMS?
If you have any questions or concerns regarding your student e-mail account, please contact the Student Affairs Office at studentaffairs@smfa.edu or 617-369-3619.
