The staff of the Disability Resource Center has found that the use of e-mail has increased the speed and effectiveness of the way in which we communicate information of interest and address the concerns of students. Students are encouraged to routinely check their e-mail to obtain information on scholarship opportunities, activities, workforce recruitment, priority enrollment dates and other items of interest to the disability community. Student e-mail accounts on the OU system are automatically set up; however, new users must activate the account by going to http://account.ou.edu/. Students who do not own a personal computer, may go to one of the computer labs on campus to activate his or her account. The student’s username and password are essential to utilize e-mail, access a personal Web page, use a computer lab, enroll for courses, check grades online, etc. Students may check e-mail accounts at the DRC office or at any of the OU computer labs on campus. E-mail accounts can be checked from home by going to http://oumail.ou.edu/.
