Getting Started: New Faculty and Staff
Pomona Account Setup
In order to use the Pomona College network, you must have a windows account. There are two types of accounts, Windows and Exchange (e-mail) which are available to all Pomona faculty, staff and students. All accounts are subject to the Acceptable Use Policy of Pomona College.
If you are a new Pomona College faculty or staff member, your account request will be triggered automatically when you complete your employment paperwork with Human Resources. Once this has been completed, contact the Helpdesk to pick up your Windows username and password.
An orientation to computing at Pomona College will be scheduled for you when you arrive on campus. If someone from the ITS Client Services Group has not already contacted you, it is important that you contact the Helpdesk as soon as possible
All accounts are subject to the Acceptable Use Policy of Pomona College.
Your Exchange account provides robust e-mail services using Microsoft Outlook, or the POP or IMAP email client of your choice (Apple Mail, Eudora, Outlook Express, Thunderbird, etc.)

You can also access your e-mail from any web browser using Pomona Webmail (the Outlook Web Access client)
