UDmail Email Accounts

Upon enrollment or employment, you receive a UD Google Apps  account for UDmail, UDcalendar, UDcontacts and UDchat.

Your email address is created with the format: [username]@udayton.edu.

Your password is initially the same as your Novell/LDAP password. If you have forgotten your password, reset it at porches.udayton.edu.

Accessing your UDmail
Access your email messages on your Front Porch tab on porches.udayton.edu.

Login with your Novell/LDAP username and password and look for the UDmail channel in the middle of the Front Porch tab.

If Porches is unavailable, click here to login with your LDAP username/password >>
