Policy

Vikings email is used as a means of official correspondence.  All students are expected to check their email at least once a day.

Vikings email accounts remain active for life. 

Maintenance Responsibility

Your email box has a maximum capacity of 10GB of storage space.  Once you have left Berry College, it is your responsibility to maintain your account.  In order to ensure that your account is not disabled, you must login to it at least once every 365 days.

Inbound email attachments are limited to a maximum size of 20MB.  Outbound email attachments are also limited to a maximum size of 20MB, however there is no guarantee that the receiving mail server will accept it.

Password Expirations and Reset Procedures

Your password for the Vikings email system is valid for one year from the time you last changed it.  If your password is not changed at least once every 365 days, it will expire and you will become locked out of your email account until a new password is set.  Within your account profile, you may choose to set this password to expire once every 72 days for added security.

1. Go to http://www.outlook.com and enter your username and password.
2. Choose "Options," located in the top right hand corner near the "Log Off" button.
3. Within the "Shortcuts to other things you can do" box, click the button to "Change your password". This will open a new window allowing you to change your password.

   Old Password: your old password
   New Password: a new password you've never used before (at least 6 alpha-numeric characters long - no spaces)
