What's my e-mail address and password?

The convention for generating e-mail accounts is: 
User name convention: firstname.lastname@cix.csi.cuny.edu 
Provided that there are no name conflicts, your e-mail ID should remain the same. For example, if there is more than one "John Smith" on campus, one person's ID will be "John.Smith", the second "John.Smith2" and the third "John.Smith3'.
Password convention: Csi+your EMPLID

Where do I login?

If you experience any problems while attempting to access your account, please email the helpdesk at Helpdesk@csi.cuny.edu  or call the HelpDesk at 718.982.HELP (4357).
