Faculty & Staff Email Accounts

Getting an Account

Two main email systems serve the Jefferson community. Both offer Web access from off-campus sites, as well as client access from your office desktop.

• TJU Hospital staff, residents and fellows receive JeffNet accounts from the Information Systems (IS) department.
  • JeffNet accounts = jeffersonhospital.org
  • Apply for a Hospital email account
  • Learn more about accessing JeffNet.
  • JeffNet accounts use your name as both address and login (example: Thomas.Jefferson@jeffersonhospital.org)
    
    
• University faculty and staff receive JeffMail accounts from the Jefferson Information Technologies (Jeff-IT) department.
  
  
  • JeffMail accounts = jefferson.edu
  • JeffMail accounts are set up automatically at the time you are hired. You may store up to 200MB of email in your account.
  • Access your account with your Jefferson Campus Key: Find your Campus Key
  • Test your access now
  • JeffMail accounts use your Campus Key to login (example: sdg001), and your name as your address (Thomas.Jefferson@jefferson.edu)

Email Client Software

Both University and Hospital email services offer Web-based access (via JeffMail for University and via the Remote Access Portal for Hospital), but a desktop client is recommended and supported:

• Microsoft Outlook for JeffMail (supported by Jeff-IT). A configuraton tutorial is available. (Jeff-IT Help Center)
