How do I access my LMU email?
LMU supports a web based email client that can be accessed from any computer that has access to the Internet. The syntax for LMU student email addresses is firstname.lastname@lmunet.edu. In the event two students have the same first and last name, a sequential number is added to the end of the last name, (ex. john.doe1@lmunet.edu). We encourage our students to use their LMU email accounts for all communication during their tenure at LMU.
I prefer Gmail, do I still have to use my LMU student email account?
LMU Student Email Policy
Electronic mail (email), like postal mail, is an official mechanism for administrators, faculty, staff and students to communicate with each other. The University expects that email communications will be received and read in a timely manner. Students are expected to check email on a frequent and regular basis in order to stay current with University-related communications, recognizing that certain communications may be time-critical. If a student receives an official e-mail from a University faculty member, administrator, or staff member and does not read that e-mail any subsequent repercussions cannot be excused by “unread e-mail messages.” (2012-2013 LMU Student Handbook, p. 13)
What is Turnitin and how do I use it?
Turnitin is both a stand-alone website and an Edvance360 integrated application for plagiarism prevention and detection. Turnitin checks submitted papers again 20+ billion web pages, 220+ million student papers, and library databases and publications. The Turnitin “Originality Report” shows how much of the student’s paper matches content in the Turnitin databases and allows instructors to easily see how much of the paper is unoriginal. For training on the Edvance360 Turnitin integration, contact the CTLE at 423-869-6286. For assistance with the Turnitin website and using Turnitin with SEWS, contact the Director of the QEP at 423-869-6397.
