Getting Started with Live @ Baruch

I’m already a student.  Will my current e-mail address change?
Students from all over CUNY will have a standard e-mail account, such as: firstname.lastname@baruchmail.cuny.edu.  Provided there are no name conflicts, your e-mail ID should remain the same. For example, if there is more than one “John Smith” on your campus, one person’s ID will be “John.Smith” and the second “John.Smith1”.

I’m a new student. What is my e-mail address?
The convention for generating e-mail accounts is firstname.lastname@baruchmail.cuny.edu

Your default password is your date of birth, in this format: YYMMDD.  When you attend new student orientation at Baruch, you will be provided with your e-mail address.
