Obtaining access to the Computing Resources at the School of Medicine:
The first step to accessing computing resources at the School of Medicine is aquiring your Pennkey. Please see the Pennkey page for information on how to obtain your Pennkey. Please remember, you must be active in payroll overnight to be eligible for a Pennkey.
After you have set up your Pennkey, you must wait 24 hour prior to requesting your mail.med email account. You can request your mail.med email account here: http://www.med.upenn.edu/apps/my/eam. It can take up to 2 business days for your email account to be created. You can check on the status of your account by visiting the link where you put the request in. Once the email account has been created, you can either use webmail for checking/sending mail or you can also have your LSP set up a mail client for you. Please contact your LSP for more information.
