PSR Student Email Account Policy

Email Account Activation /Termination
@ses.psr.edu email accounts are created for all PSR students. This account is mandatory and the only email address PSR will use for communication with students. All email accounts are issued as <first initial last name>@ses.psr.edu, unless the username is already in use by another student. In that case a number will be appended to the username (example: <first initial last name>1@ses.psr.edu.

Your email account will continue to stay active as long as you use it, even after leaving PSR. You must log into your account at least once per year to keep the account valid. If after one year you do not log into your ses.psr.edu account the account will be deleted from the database and all email and related information stored in the account will be lost forever. A warning message will be sent to the email address 30 days prior to the account being deleted, to alert the user of our intent.

Email Forwarding
Some users choose to forward all emails from their ses.psr.edu account to another address. This is a good option for those that do not want to have to check the ses.psr.edu account regularly, though it is still the responsibility of the user to log into their ses.psr.edu account at least once per year to keep it active. It is also recommended that students whitelist their ses.psr.edu address on their accounts to prevent important email from being marked as spam. How this is configured varies for every email service, and is beyond the scope of this document. In general you want to permanently mark as valid and not spam any email sent from your ses.psr.edu email address.

Questions concerning this policy or the PSR provided student email accounts should be directed to techsupport@psr.edu.

Other Contact & Profile Information Updates 

In addition to email addresses, other contact or profile information may be updated by posting a student profile on the PSR website.  Students are responsible for creating an account, then filling out a student profile as a part of their account creation. If you already have an account and need to update your profile/contact information please log in and click My Account in the top right corner to edit your profile. 

GTU Common MA students: In addition to updating this information in your student account, please call the GTU Student Affairs Office at 510/649-2400 to make sure they receive your contact information updates. All students, even those on leave, under supervision, on internship, or otherwise away from campus but still active students are responsible for checking their email for PSR to ensure they meet academic deadlines.

Check "My Profile" in WebAdvisor to ensure the school has your most current information including address and denomination on file. If you just have a quick update, you may send your update to either the Office of Community Life or the Registrar. If you have a name change, you will need to file a copy of the official document indicating your name change with the Registrar.
