CS Email Transition
Date: May 01, 2006
Computer Science is transitioning its multiple email services into a single integrated service. We expect
the transition to be completed by August 1, 2006.
Users who use dragon.rutgers.edu as their email server need do nothing. Others must create a new email account before August 1, 2006.
During the transition period email services will continue to be available on mail servers being
retired (e.g., research, aramis, paul, remus, cereal) but changes will
be made to make sure we have a smooth transition.
Who is eligible for an integrated CS email account
- CS faculty, CS staff, and CS graduate student
- CS researchers and collaborators sponsored by a faculty or
staff member
- Declared undergraduate CS majors who request the service be
made available. Please send your request to:
What email services are being decommissioned
- Email will not
be received on research, aramis, paul, remus, cereal etc.

able to get new mail transparently. See Reading CS
