North Park Vikings Email  

Overview

Students who are setting up a North Park email account for the first time will create a new Vikings email account.  The new Vikings email account includes …

• A personally customized email address @vikings.northpark.edu - you select the name that comes before the @ in the address!
• 10 GB of email storage on an Exchange email server
• The option to set the same password for both your North Park network account and Vikings email account, or use separate passwords.
• Easy email access via rich web-based email client.
• Your Vikings email account is also a Microsoft Live ID which gives you access to Live SkyDrive (25GB of online storage), Office Live Workspace, and more.

Your new Vikings email account is separate from your North Park Network Account.  Your North Park network account username will continue to be in the standard format (typically the first initial of your first name followed by your full last name and possibly a number, followed by @northpark.edu – e.g. username@northpark.edu).

Your Vikings email account provides access to your email.  Your North Park network account username provides access to all other North Park services, including WebAdvisor, Blackboard, Helpdesk, and NPYou.

You will also continue to have the option of supplying an existing external email address (Gmail, Yahoo, etc) instead of creating a North Park Vikings email account.

Students with existing North Park Hosted Email Accounts

There is not currently an easy way to transition your email, calendar and contacts from a previous North Park hosted email account to a new Vikings account.  We hope to provide an upgrade path for students in the future.
