UNDERGRADUATE CATALOG - Mercy College

A Mercy College Education / 5
The Mercy College portal, Mercy Connect, provides access to online learning, E-mail,
discussion list, chat and Web-based services such as registration, advising, grades,
tuition payment, financial aid and degree audit. Upon admission, all students are
assigned a college E-mail address and are expected to use both their E-mail and
the Web-based services as an integral part of their college experience. Many official
communications from Mercy College are sent via E-mail.
E-mail
Mercy College considers the college’s E-mail system, e.g. employee’s username@mercy.
edu or username@connect.mercy.edu or student’s username@connect.mercy.edu along
with the United States Postal Service, an official means of communication. The College
will consider employees and students to be duly informed and in receipt of notifications
and correspondences sent by a College administrator, staff, or faculty delivered to an
employee’s or a student’s college E-mail account. It is recommended that employees
and students frequently access their college assigned E-mail account for official
information. Individuals may choose to have their @mercy.edu or their @connect.mercy.
edu E-mail accounts forwarded to an off-campus account. Such individuals, however,
are responsible for managing their disk quota such that there is room for new mail
to arrive and for forwarding their Mercy E-mail account to a functioning alternative
E-mail address. The College is not responsible for delivery problems to non-official
E-mail accounts.
