Using an Alternative Mail Program

You should know that you can use other e-mail programs to access your CS100 e-mail from home or work. You may want to use another type of Email program. Here are some other choices and how to set them up.

Please note for the duration of this course you will have to be able to access your U of R email from the lab at the University. You will receive test questions in your email - and if you can't access your email, you won't be able to complete the questions. So it would be a good idea to NOT forward your U of R emails to a home-based account until after this course is finished.

If you have trouble with any of these instructions, drop by CL119 during posted office hours, or come to CL115 during CS100Help hours.
