Official College-Institute Communication and Email Accounts

The Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion (HUC-JIR) issues a College-Institute email address to each student, generated from the student’s name and a portion of the SIS Student Code. For instance, Jenni Smith’s email address would be formatted as jsmi1234@HUC.EDU.

HUC-JIR 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-JIR student user account. Student accounts will remain active as long as the student is enrolled in courses or is on an approved leave of absence as per 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those who have graduated, those who are not currently registered for courses, and those who have neither officially withdrawn nor gone on an approved leave of absence.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.
