Microsoft Exchange

Get Started: Request an Exchange Account

More information about UVa's move to Microsoft Exchange.

Before you can use Exchange, you must request an account on the UVa Exchange Service. The following steps outline the process of obtaining a UVa Exchange account:

1. Activate Your Computing ID (if needed)

If you're new to UVa, you will need to activate your computing ID first. After your name can be found via the “People Search” function on the main UVa website, then you can activate your computing ID.

2. Request an Exchange Account

After your computing ID has been activated, you will have your password to use when you request your UVa Exchange Service account.

  1. Go to the Eservices Management Website and log in through NetBadge.
  2. Click Account Management.
  3. Then:
    • For individuals requesting an Exchange account: Select Exchange Tools.
    • For LSPs and department administrators: Select LSP Exchange Tools. (This is a manual process and often happens more slowly than the individual account request process, which is automated.)
  4. Then:
    • For individuals requesting an Exchange account: Click the Request an Eservices / UVa Exchange Service Account and then click the Request Account button.
    • For LSPs and department administrators: Read the instructions available through the Instructions For Requesting Accounts link and then use the Request New Accounts link to make your request(s).

3. Create Your Primary Address

Use the Email Address Management System to create your primary address—the email address UVa will use to send official notifications to you. Learn more about how to use the Email Address Management System.
