SIGNUP for e-mail and Webpage
Your username and password
At
- Your username identifies who you are. Delta is in the process of changing the conventions for username. Users who already have a username will continue to use the old convention: the initial of your first name, your middle initial if you have one, and up to the first six characters of your last name. New users will use the new convention: first name followed by your last name.
- Your password ensures that you are really you - that is, it helps protect the security of you, your data, and your system. Delta's convention for passwords is that they are 6 to 32 characters and follow some rules that are stated at the time you request. Your password should not be something that someone could "guess" - but it needs to be something you can easily remember.
Do not right your password down where others can view it.
Once you have a username, others on the Internet can send mail to you.
Your mailing address is: username@delta.edu
Also, you can create a webpage on Delta's system
and give them names, such as:
http://student.delta.edu/username/mypage.html
