Get an Account

Faculty and staff pick up their accounts by going to the Computer Accounts Management System (CAMS).  Students pick up their first accounts from http://www.drexel.edu/irt/welcome. These services will walk you through activating your Common Accounts.  CAMS will pick the user-id that your IRT-issued accounts will use; you'll pick your own password.

You can use these credentials to log into the Drexel domain, DrexelOne, Webmail and CAMS.

TIP: If CAMS doesn't recognize you, it may be a typo error in the personal information that Drexel has on file for you.  Please contact accounts@drexel.edu for assistance in getting the data correct so that you pick up your accounts.

Accounts Management

Once you have picked up your accounts, you can log into CAMS at any time to check your email space usage, set email forwarding to other mail systems, and create a personal alias (so that you don't have to be known as something like qzx593@drexel.edu!).

Forwarding

Use the forwarding icon to choose how incoming email is handled.  Your choices are:

  • Send all mail to your Drexel mailbox (this is the standard action)
  • Forward all mail to a different email address (like Google, Microsoft, or another Drexel department)
  • Both -- keep a copy in your IRT mailbox and send a copy somewhere else

Email Quota

Use the quota icon to check how much of your 100 MB email storage is in use.  TIP: LinkEdu accounts have huge email quotas (50-100 times more!), have "drexel.edu" in their email addresses, and don't have ads like regular Google and Microsoft accounts.

Personal Alias

In addition to your userID and Official Email Address, you can opt to have a personal alias. A personal alias is an address that you can give out to people. You will still need to log into Drexel locations with your userID. 

Password Changes

If you desire to change your password, you can log into CAMS and click on the big set of keys next to your name. This will reset your email and domain passwords, not your Dunx1.

Password reset wizard

The Password Reset Wizard is available to users that do not know their password. It is accessible by clicking the “Help, I forgot my password” link on the front page of CAMS. In order to use the Password Reset Wizard, you must first set it up. Instructions for setting up and using the Password Reset Wizard can be found at AskDrexel (Insert link to AskDrexel)
