After obtaining a College of Arts & Sciences email account from your departmental staff, you can access your email and calendar through Microsoft Office Outlook.



I. In the Office

Click on the Microsoft Office Outlook icon located in your computer’s Start menu (Figure 1). If your Start menu does not have Microsoft Outlook listed as the default email client, you may not have Microsoft Office installed on your machine. You should contact eTech at 348-4832 for additional assistance.

II. Outside the Office

If you need to access your email from outside the office, or you prefer accessing your email from an online web browser (i.e. Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari, etc.), you can log on to your account using the following steps:

• Point your web browser to https://webmail.ua.edu  (Figure 2).
• In the Department dropdown list, choose “Arts & Sciences.”
• Enter your College of Arts & Sciences user name and password. This is the log-on you use on your office computer. You may be required to enter this information twice depending on your browser settings.
• Click the Log On button. In most instances, it is not necessary to change the Client or Security settings.
• After logging on to your account, you will have access to your email and other Outlook tools. The layout of Outlook may differ according to which web browser you use. Outlook Web Access works best in Microsoft Internet Explorer.
