Your E-mail Account

E-mail accounts are automatically created for all students.  It is important that you familiarize yourself with email before school starts.

You log into your e-mail account with your NetID (the part of your e-mail address before "@stthomas.edu") and a password.

To access your email for the first time follow these steps:

• Create your own unique password at http://www.stthomas.edu/new

(You will need a "claim code."  You should have been provided your claim code some time after you were admitted to St. Thomas.  If you do not have it anymore, contact International Recruiting and Admissions if you are a new undergraduate student and your graduate program if you are a new graduate student.  You will not need your claim code again after creating your e-mail account.)

• Next log in to http://mail.stthomas.edu
   
• That is it – your account is ready for you to use!

Your NetID and your e-mail password can also be used to log into Blackboard and to log into any computer on campus.
 

Your MURPHY Account

MURPHY allows you to access registration information, employee time sheets, and more.  You log into MURPHY with your St. Thomas ID (a 9-digit number) and a PIN (a 6-digit number).

Your PIN number is assigned to you by the university.  You can change it to something that is easier for you to remember.  The best time to change it is when you are setting up your e-mail password.

If you forget to change your PIN at that time, you can ask the IRT Tech Desk to reset your PIN.  They will give you a new PIN and e-mail it to your St. Thomas e-mail account.  (So be sure to have your St. Thomas e-mail account set up!)  Then you can log into MURPHY and change your PIN to something easier to remember.
