Most full-time faculty and staff can receive Internet e-mail through the district. Internet e-mail addresses at the SDCCD follow these conventions:

The first part of the address is the person's first initial followed (no space) by the first seven letters of the last name. If the person's last name is less than seven characters long, then his/her address will contain all of the letters.

For example, BrianStevenson's address will begin "bstevens" and Brian Smith's will be "bsmith".

The rest of the address is always "@sdccd.edu". Do not try to insert the name of the college or center.

William vs. Bill / Robert vs. Bob / Elizabeth vs. Betty
There is no strict rule about how formal name vs. nickname is handled when the two names start with different letters of the alphabet. Usually, the address reflects what the person prefers to be called in day-to-day business. So "Robert Miller" will be "rmiller@sdccd.edu". However, if this person goes by "Bob," his address is likely to be "bmiller@sdccd.edu".

E-mail addresses are not case-sensititve.

A message sent to a nonexistent address will be bounced back to the sender. Then you can try the alternate address choice.

If all else fails, you can ask the district information Operator to help find the correct address.
