Student Email Accounts
All students are issued a Guttman email account before the first day of class. Your Guttman email address is the address to which the college sends official notifications and is the required mode of e-communication for all students. As the owner of the account, you are responsible for its proper use and protection.
Students are responsible for checking and reading official Guttman communications sent to their email address on a regular basis.
Access your Guttman email at mail.office365.com or through the Guttman portal at my.guttman.cuny.edu.
Networks and Portals
GUTTMAN COMPUTER NETWORK
To access a desktop computer on the Guttman Campus, all students must log in using their Guttman UserID (the same user name as CUNYfirst.) This password is set when the student first claims their account before they begin their first semester. By logging into any Guttman computer, students are agreeing to adhere to the Acceptable Use of Computer Resources policy. Students are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the policy prior to accessing Guttman’s network for the first time.
GUTTMAN WIRELESS NETWORK
Guttman offers free wireless networking throughout the 40th Street campus. Access to the network requires authorization which can be completed by providing the Guttman UserID and password. Laptop computers will automatically detect the wireless signal, if properly configured. Students and faculty can receive help connecting to and troubleshooting the wireless connection by contacting the helpdesk.
GUTTMAN WEB PORTAL
The Guttman Web Portal is the student’s dashboard for all online services the College provides. To access the web portal, go to my.guttman.cuny.edu and enter your Guttman UserID and password. Once logged into the web portal, students will see icons that link to services such as student email, student file storage, Digication and more.
