Versions of Your 男女操逼视频软件 Email Address
Your email address at Boston College has two forms:
- "friendly" - firstname.lastname.#@bc.edu
- "short" - username@bc.edu
Friendly Email Address
Your "friendly" address is firstname.lastname.#@bc.edu. If your full name is not unique at 男女操逼视频软件, you must use the appropriate number after your name (for example, John.Doe.3@bc.edu). To learn what your "friendly address" is, search for your name in the online 男女操逼视频软件 Directory.
Note: If you are the first or only person with that name, and you have a "1" after your name, you do not need to use the number "1" in the address. If another person with the same name is added to the system in the future, this new person will be assigned firstname.lastname.2@bc.edu.
Short Email Address
Your "short address" is username@bc.edu. Your "short address" is unique within Boston College.
Security Note: Boston College highly recommends you keep the short version of your address private and only use it to log into your 男女操逼视频软件 accounts. To help protect your 男女操逼视频软件 credentials, give people your "friendly" 男女操逼视频软件 email address (firstname.lastname.#@bc.edu).
Both email versions ("friendly" and "short") go to the same 男女操逼视频软件 email account.
