Answers to FAQs about the UVa Exchange Service
- What is my UVa Exchange account login and password?
- Your Exchange account login name is eservices\ followed by your UVa computing ID (e.g., eservices\mst3k). Your Exchange account password is your Eservices password. Don’t know this password? You can (re)set it.
- How do I go about getting an account on the UVa Exchange Service for the first time?
- See Getting Started with Exchange and Moving to Exchange.
- How do I access my UVa Centralized Exchange account when I am off-Grounds?
- You have several options; see Best Practices: Remote Access to Exchange.
- I want to change the appearance of my name in the From: line of emails sent from my Exchange account. How do I do this?
- ITS recognizes that the ability to change your name or address as it appears in the From: line of your outgoing messages to include your nickname or alias is important. Unfortunately, at the present time, this type of change is not possible. At UVa, a number of databases (some controlled by ITS, some controlled by others) need to interact to have names and email addresses display correctly. This complicated interaction makes allowing a person-selectable From: name/address choices more difficult than it might otherwise be. ITS has staff working on this issue as time, priorities, and resources permit, and hopes to have a way for people to designate how they want their From: address to appear in the future.
- Can UVa students have UVa Exchange accounts?
-
Accounts are not automatically created for students, but if a student works for a department, and needs to schedule meetings, reserve resources such as conference rooms, or plan events in the capacity of either an employee or volunteer, the department can request an Exchange account for a student online, at no charge. Departments can request accounts for non-employee students as well, but must sponsor them, since a PTAO is required for these.
Exchange accounts are not available to students for personal use. If you are a student who needs calendaring services, though, your UVa student email account includes a calendaring application.
