STUDENT CONTACT INFORMATION
If you need to contact students by phone or e-mail, there is a blue Student Telephone Directory for the University that includes the Eastman School. Some of that information, however, is already out of date when the directory is released in October. A more reliable and current source of information is the online directory (updated monthly) at: http://www.rochester.edu/directory.
The Eastman School of Music will provide students with an e-mail account upon matriculation. The cost of the e-mail account is included in the student comprehensive fee. Students can expect to receive official information regarding deadlines, policy/procedure changes, changes in degree requirements, special events, course schedule changes, regulatory changes, emergency notices, as well as other useful information from the Registrar, Office of Financial Aid, Office of Academic and Student Affairs, Office of Graduate Studies and information from academic departments. Official messages will be sent to the University assigned e-mail address only – not to other e-mail addresses.
Effective August 1, 2002, a student’s University assigned student e-mail account (mail.rochester.edu) will become the Eastman School of Music’s official means of communication, usually replacing paper correspondence. Students are responsible for all information sent to them via their University of Rochester e-mail account, it is expected that such communications will be received and read in a timely fashion. It is important for Eastman students to understand that the majority of information will be communicated to them via their University assigned account while they are students. If a student chooses to forward their University e-mail account, he or she is responsible for all information, including attachments and hyper-links, sent to any other e-mail account.
Students have individual paper mail folders, located in the basement of the Eastman Main Building. Anyone can stuff mail for students in these folders, but be aware – often students forget to check their folders daily. Important correspondence should be sent to the student’s home address in Rochester. Students who reside in the Student Living Center have their own locked mailboxes. Mail for them can be given to the Front Desk of the Student Living Center for stuffing.
