OIT performs routine maintenance on servers and systems every Sunday from 8 a.m. to noon. Many IT services may be offline intermittently during this time. Network access and computing resources availability (Banner, E-Learning, Exchange server, etc.) may also be affected. Since this is a low-usage period, fewer UA customers will be impacted. For questions, contact the IT Service Desk at (205) 348-5555 or itsd@ua.edu.
For Students
All students have a Crimson Gmail account created for them when they first enter the University. This is considered their official University of Alabama e-mail address, and it will be used by University departments to disseminate information and listed in the campus directory (unless the student has requested non-disclosure of directory information).
For Faculty/Staff
Most faculty and staff have e-mail addresses in their own departments. These vary in how they are accessed and whether they can be used off-campus.
All faculty and staff are also eligible for Bama accounts, which can be accessed from anywhere using the myBama web site.

Departments, organizations, and visitors may be eligible for Bama accounts.
