Email Service and Policy

Hampshire College offers a free webmail account (HampNet account) to all graduated alums, or alums with electronic academic records. To request your HampNet account or reactive an inactive (6 months or more) account, please fill out the alum account request form here.

Alums may retain accounts in perpetuity with a soft disk quota. For more information, see 'Alumni Quotas' using the link in the left menu. Email accounts will remain accessible to the alum as long as they are active. Inactive alum accounts, defined as those which have not been logged into for at least 6 months or do not have email forwarded, may be deleted without notice. If the account is deleted all email, address book entries, and personalization in the account will be lost. The email account will be available to the alum for reactivation, but deleted email cannot be recovered.

Spouses, partners, other family members, or friends are not eligible for an account on the College's email system.
 
Acceptable Use

The College permits personal correspondence through College accounts as long as such correspondence does not excessively burden the College's network or servers. Additional guidelines may apply to email sent to College mail lists.

The email system may not be used to transmit sexually explicit images or messages that may be construed as harassment, nor may it be used for any communications that contain ethnic slurs, racial epithets, or anything that may be reasonably construed as disparagement of others based on race, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, religious, or political beliefs.
