Email

Student email overview

GrizMail is UM’s official student email system. GrizMail accounts are easy to use. Umontana aliases/addresses are generated for students as soon as they apply to the University. Students access their GrizMail accounts at the GrizMail web page using their NetID and password.

Umontana aliases are in the following form: firstname.lastname@umontana.edu

Students should give this alias to University email contacts for University-related business.

  • How do students locate their NetID and email information?
    • Students may log into CyberBear (Personal Information section) to locate their NetID and email information.
  • How do students change/reset NetID passwords?
    • An online password change/reset option for the NetID password is available to students through OneStop online services. In order for students to reset their passwords, they must establish an answer to a security question first. It is recommended that students do this the first time they log-in to OneStop. The online password change/reset pertains to all NetID logins: Blackboard, Library remote resources, OneStop online services, IT computer lab log-ins, campus wireless access, as well as GrizMail.
  • Why should students use GrizMail?
    • GrizMail serves as the official means of communication between students and The University of Montana. Important University business is conducted via this email account, including routine information about registration, tuition and fees notifications, and urgent announcements and notices from President Dennison and the UM administration. In addition, GrizMail is an easy way for students to quickly and efficiently correspond with professors and other University personnel.
  • How long are GrizMail accounts active?
    • GrizMail accounts are offered to all currently enrolled university students. Once a student is no longer enrolled, this GrizMail account remains active until the 3rd week of the semester that follows your final semester. For example, if your last semester was Fall Semester 2007, your account will be deactivated during the third week of Spring Semester 2008. At that time, your email resources were no longer available to you.

      If you attend the University of Montana for at least one semester or earn 12 credits, you are considered a UM alumni. The Alumni Association provides an email forwarding service to UM alumni. For further information, go to the Alumni Association web site.
