What you need to know about UW-Parkside email accounts.

An email account address is composed of two parts; a username and a domain name. You will notice that your (student) email domain name is @rangers.uwp.edu, while the faculty and staff email domain name is @uwp.edu.

Key takeaways:

• Student email: username@rangers.uwp.edu
• Faculty/Staff email: username@uwp.edu

How to keep your account and personal information secure

It is extremely important to remember that UW-Parkside faculty and staff, including the Chancellor, Provost, and Vice Chancellors, will NEVER:

1. Contact you about a work opportunity.
   All on campus job offers go through Handshake. Note: If a job offer seems too good to be true, it probably is.
   
   
2. Text you about your account or ask for personal information.
   Campus personnel will never ask you for your name/email/personal information to be sent in a text to them. Faculty and staff already have access to your contact information.
   
   
3. Ask for your Password.
   We will never ask for your password. It is yours, and yours alone. Keep it safe. Do not share it with anyone. 
   
   

What you can do:

1. Never share personal information through email or text.
2. Never respond to job offers or other emails from a fellow student.
3. If you get an Okta multi-factor authentication push to your phone that you did not initiate, do not accept it!
4. If you are unsure about the legitimacy of an email, send/forward it to servicedesk@uwp.edu. We would much rather let you know that it is a legit email than have your account compromised.
5. Remember that all Campus Technology Services (CTS) announcements and/or email communications will come from either campus.technology@uwp.edu or servicedesk@uwp.edu.
