- Turn on two-factor authentication (2FA) if it’s offered.
- Use a strong password with letters, numbers, and symbols.
- Log out when using public or shared computers.

Handy Tips and Tricks
Ready to go beyond just reading and writing emails? Here are some cool things you can do once you’re in your Baruch account:
- Set an Email Signature: Go to Settings and add your name, major, and contact info.
- Create Folders: Organize your emails better by class or subject.
- Use the Calendar: Schedule meetings, office hours, and deadlines.
- Flag Important Messages: Keep track of emails you need to follow up on.
All of this is easy to find in Outlook—on desktop and mobile!
Why it’s Important to Check Your Email Often
Your Baruch email is your main link to the college. Professors might email you about assignments, schedule changes, or class cancellations. You might get invited to events, workshops, or internships. Missing those emails? Not good!
Set a reminder to check your email at least once or twice a day. Or even better, turn on notifications in the Outlook app so nothing slips by.
