UCT Email

UCT Email

After registering, you will receive an email address in the format of studentnumber @ myuct.ac.za. The mailbox is hosted by Microsoft in the Office 365 cloud and contains a free copy of Microsoft Office during the survey period. Bachelor, graduate, master’s, and doctoral students receive a 100 GB mailbox, an instant messaging client (IM), and 1 TB of secure cloud storage space on OneDrive.

Office 365 email addresses are supported on Windows, Mac, and Linux and can be accessed from Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer. The email address of myUCT is a “lifetime email address”. NS. It will be available after graduation (if you do not graduate, please do not keep your email address). After graduation, your email address will be changed to firstname.lastname@alumni.uct.ac.za.

At registration you will be provided with an email address in the format studentnumber@myuct.ac.za. Your mailbox is hosted on Microsoft’s Office 365 cloud and includes a free copy of Microsoft Office for the duration of your studies. Undergraduate, honours, masters and doctoral students get a 50GB mailbox, an instant messaging (IM) client and 1TB of secure cloud storage space on OneDrive.
Your Office 365 email address is supported on Windows, Mac & Linux and is accessible using Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer. Your myUCT email address is an ‘email address for life’, meaning that it will still be available after you graduate (should you not graduate, you will not retain your email address). Your email address will change to firstname.surname@alumni.uct.ac.za once you graduate.

Access your mailbox

  1. Open a browser and go to https://outlook.com/myuct.ac.za.
  2. Sign in using your studentnumber@myuct.ac.za and your password.
  3. Your mailbox opens.

Access OneDrive

  1. To download the app for your desktop, tablet or phone, visit the OneDrive webpage.
  2. Sign in to the OneDrive website using your UCT email address and password.

Once you leave UCT, you will no longer be able to access OneDrive. You will therefore need to move any data you had in this location to other storage. Microsoft has provided step-by-step instructions on how to sync your saved data from OneDrive to your computer. Thereafter, you can easily move it either to another online storage solution or to an external hard drive.
