New Faculty/Staff
LoadingInitial Setup
Open a Brandeis account
New faculty may open a Brandeis account within 360 days of their appointment start date, once they have received their letter of appointment, and have accepted it.
New staff may open an account within three days of their hire, once they have checked in with HR. If they require an account sooner, they may open a sponsored email account, which is converted over to a full account at the start of their first month. Directions for opening a sponsored email account are on the account creation page.Access your email
We recommend using the Gmail web client, but if you wish you may also configure an email client on your computer. Click here for instructions.
Make sure your department has arranged for an office computer for you
Departments almost always take care of this well before you arrive, but it doesn't hurt to contact your department administrator and make sure.
Use Google Calendar
Everyone with a Brandeis account will gain a Brandeis Google calendar account. The account may be viewed by going to http://go.brandeis.edu/cal. Documentation of features may be viewed here.
Obtain access to your department's network share on the Omega server
Not all departments have a departmental share, but your department administrator will know. To gain access to your department's share, ask your department administrator to request access on your behalf by contacting the Help Desk.
Set up your voicemail
Directions for establishing your voicemail are available on our website.
