RHSMith email accounts are created for all faculty, and staff, PhDs students.  Full time MBA students receive RHSmith Webmail accounts. These accounts are created automatically--you do not need to do anything to request one. Part-time MBA students are given an "email for life" Smith forwarding address, and can request a full Smith Webmail account by filling out a New Account Request form.

Undergraduate students do not receive a Smith email account unless they hold a student worker position at Smith.

All accounts are active until 30 days after graduation or until the last day of employment. Make sure to copy or remove any important personal information as you will not have access to it after this date. Copy your mail to another email client BEFORE your accounts are removed.

Access your email anywhere that has internet access without having to install any software by using the MyUM Portal. Alternately, for webmail access, just go to http://mail.rhsmith.umd.edu for staff/faculty and students go to http://students.rhsmith.umd.edu.
