New Computer Accounts

Any computer account that is created starting today will automatically have an Exchange email account and will not have access to SamMail or IMAP email. Email will need to be checked by clicking on the "Exchange Mail" link from the main page of the SHSU website when off campus.

Please contact the Helpdesk with any questions you may have.

SecureCRT

SecureCRT was pushed to campus on the evening of July 3rd and can be found by going to the Start button, All programs, SHSU Programs, and Communications.

This replaces CRT.

Another Phishing Scheme

If you receive an email like the one below, please do not respond with any information. This email is not coming from SHSU. Our Security Officer is working with Gmail's abuse team to have the account disabled that is generating the emails as well as blocking any inbound and outbound mail from that account.
