Medical Student Email

Heritage College students are assigned e-mail accounts by the OHIO Information Technology. These email accounts are part of the University Catmail Email System. The University utilizes email to send grade reports and as a primary means to communicate with students. As a student of the Heritage College, reading your University email is YOUR responsibility. Critical information concerning course requirements, grading, scheduling and testing are often communicated via email and through the student mail box system. It is every student's responsibility to check their email and mailbox regularly. Students are held responsible for obligations communicated via these systems.

General email questions and additional help can be found online at /oit/email/.

Students have access to the Internet and web-based resources through campus wireless network connections.
