Newly Appointed Faculty Information

As a Tufts Faculty member, your Tufts Account will be used for access to resources, benefits, and e-mail. It's important to set up your account so that you can take advantage of all the benefits offered by Tufts University and receive important communications from the Medical School.

E-mail

Tufts Faculty are eligible for a Tufts University e-mail account. The type of e-mail account you receive will depend on your employment status with Tufts University. Tufts Clinical Faculty (those based at one of our affiliated hospitals/institutions) are eligible for a Tufts e-mail alias, which is an "@tufts.edu" e-mail address that forwards to an e-mail box of your choice (such as a hospital e-mail account or personal Gmail or Yahoo account). 

You will have received instructions for setting up your account in your appointment confirmation letter, however, you can also view instructions and information about setting up your forwarding e-mail here: How to Activate Your Account

Tufts Username

In addition to the e-mail address (or alias), Tufts Faculty will receive a Tufts Username (also referred to as a UTLN). Your Tufts Username grants you access to many of the online resources such as the Hirsch Health Sciences Library. You should have set up your username and password when you first became faculty. If you have forgotten your username or password, you can find information about recovering your username or resetting your password here: Tufts Username Help.
