All Seton Hall University students and employees are issued an e-mail account. This is the e-mail account that the University will use to communicate all official university business and news. 

Seton Hall University uses Lotus Domino as its campus e-mail system. In addition to e-mail, Lotus Domino provides a variety of other features, including: attachments, personal and campus address books, calendaring, task management, folders, and customizable layouts, depending on which method you use to access the system.

There are a variety of ways to access the University's Lotus Domino e-mail system. Most students will use a Web browser to reach their e-mail via I-Notes or Web Mail. You can also access the campus e-mail system using a standard IMAP browser such as MS Outlook. Most faculty, administrators and staff use the Lotus Notes client to access their e-mail.

Upon graduation, a student's university e-mail account can be converted to an alumni e-mail account called "e-mail 4 life". This is a free, permanent and private account for alumni. To learn more about “e-mail 4 life” or to convert your account, click “here”
