Username format:
The user name (also known as short name) format is the first initial and a maximum of seven letters of the last name. As an example, we will use the fictitious student named Ima Student. Her short name is: istudent
The preferred email name (also known as the long name) for each account utilizes all the characters in a name. The structure for the preferred email name is the first name, followed by a period (.) and then the
last name --> firstname.lastname. Using the above example, Ima's preferred email name is: ima.student
The full email address to be given to people outside Franklin & Marshall, used on business cards or elsewhere, is this format: long.name@fandm.edu. Or in Ima's case: ima.student@fandm.edu
