FACULTY/ STAFF

Faculty and staff members are expected to check their official email account on a frequent basis in order to stay current with the University's communications.  Outlook Web Access provides access to your Lewis email account via the Internet.  Each faculty/staff account holds 100 MB of information in the inbox, sent items and deleted items collectively.

To Access Your Lewis Email Account:

• Go to webmail.lewisu.edu
  
  
• Username:
  
  
  • The standard format is:  First 6 letters of your last name plus first 2 letters of your first name plus "@lewisu.edu."  For example: a login for Mark Johnson would be johnsoma@lewisu.edu.
    
    
  • If your last name is less than 6 characters, use your entire last name plus the first two letters of your first name and add “@lewisu.edu” - For example: the username for Mark Sky would be skyma@lewisu.edu.
    
    
  • Occasionally, because of duplication, usernames don’t quite follow the pattern. The second ‘rule’ for generating a username is: first 6 characters of your last name plus first initial plus middle initial plus "@lewisu.edu." For Example: Since Mark Johnson is already johnsoma, Matthew L Johnson might be johnsoml@lewisu.edu.
    
    
• Password:  Your Lewis ID number (found on your Lewis ID card or course schedule).

To Change Your Lewis Email Account Password:

• Click on the Options button on the navigation pane. 
  
  
• Click on Change Password.
  
  
• The information needed to change your password is as follows:
  
  
  • Domain:  Facstaff (for faculty and staff).
    
    
  • Account: Your username (i.e. periwilo) Do not use your entire email address.
    
    
  • Old Password: By default, this is your Lewis ID number.
    
    
  • New Password: Enter a password of your choice - Use at least 7 characters.
    
    
  • Confirm Password: Re-enter your new password.
