FAU Student E-Mail

As FAU increasingly uses e-mail to correspond with its students, it becomes more important to have accurate and reliable e-mail addresses for them. When contacting students via e-mail, the University will use only the student's FAU e-mail address. This will ensure that e-mail messages from FAU administration and faculty can be sent to all students via a valid address. E-mail accounts are provided automatically for all students from the point of application to the University. The account will be disabled one semester post-graduation or after three consecutive semesters not registered for a course.

To find out what your username is, also known as FAUNetID, from FAU’s homepage, go to the CURRENT STUDENTS tab and then click on “MyFAU login.” Then select “Lookup Username/FAU Net ID.” This will take you to a secure site where you can enter your Social Security number and your PIN. Your PIN, unless you've changed it, is 2 zeros followed by the 2-digit day and 2-digit year of your birth (if your birthday were August 4, 1987 your PIN would be 000487). Once you've entered your SSN and PIN, the system provides you with your username. Your initial password will be the same as the PIN you had entered.

You cannot forward your FAU e-mail messages to another e-mail address for security purposes. You must use MyFAU to read messages. Accounts not used for 60 days are automatically disabled (not removed) for security purposes. If your account is disabled, contact the IRM Helpdesk at 7-3999 to re-activate your account.

The FAUNetID is used for various computing services offered by FAU: MyFAU (e-mail, calendar, announcements, etc.), Canvas, computer lab access, file storage (also known as Active Directory/ANDI). For more information on these services, visit the FAUNetID/Accounts page and click on FAQ/Help. The MyFAU site also includes an interactive demo of MyFAU features.
