Official College Communication and Email Accounts
HUC issues an email address which is created by combining the first letter of your legal first name, the first two letters of your legal last name, and a part of your student ID number, then add '@huc.edu'. For example, Jane Smith with a student ID of 1234567 would have an email address of jsm123@huc.edu. You may change your HUC email address due to a change in your legal or chosen/preferred name. We will try to honor your request, assuming the email address is available and conforms to HUC's standard. Your new email address will be aligned with your updated record and linked to your legal and chosen names for all official records. Your current email address will function as an alias that will continue to forward messages to your new email address.
HUC will utilize either the student's postal address or the HUC email address for all official communications. It is the student's responsibility to regularly monitor their HUC email account.
Upon enrollment, new students are eligible for an HUC student user account. Student accounts will remain active as long as the student is registered for courses or is on an approved leave of absence as confirmed by the Registrar's Office.
Accounts will be deactivated and deleted one year after a student's last attendance. This policy applies to all students, including those who have graduated, those who are not currently registered for courses, and those who have neither officially withdrawn nor gone on an approved leave of absence.
We do not support auto-forwarding of HUC email accounts to personal email accounts.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is mandatory for all email accounts. For optimal security, we recommend using Microsoft Authenticator, "Windows Hello" biometric readers, or security keys.
Users must configure at least two sources of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to utilize the automated password reset feature.
