Student Computing Accounts
A Grenfell computer account is required to access local computing resources including email, voicemail, wireless and personal network storage.
Each fall semester Grenfell accounts created the previous school year expire. All returning students must renew their account to keep it activated.
All graduate accounts will be converted to Alumni accounts which do not need to be renewed yearly.
Free email accounts are automatically created when your computer account is created. Your email address will be
username@grenfell.mun.ca where username is the account assigned to you.
Too many university email accounts? Some official University Correspondence is sent to your MUN email and some to your Grenfell email. Why not redirect your MUN account to your Grenfell account?
