HSE E-mail for Students

At the end of August, all freshly enrolled HSE students will get HSE e-mail addresses. They will be able to get their addresses at their initial meetings with programme office staff*. We’d like to inform you more about the opportunities that come along with HSE e-mail.

All HSE students are provided with an e-mail address, which is active during the whole period of their studies at the university (undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral). E-mail addresses can also be used after graduation. This service works on the basis of Microsoft Office 365, which is integrated with HSE’s academic management system. All e-mails are generated automatically once a student is enrolled.

Opportunities offered by HSE e-mail addresses for students:

1.      Univocal student identification in all HSE information systems, since the algorithm of creating e-mail addresses prevents any duplication and serves as the basis for all integration processes between systems;

2.      Confirmation of student status when obtaining access to various internet services, which may be granted to students on beneficial terms. For example, students can get subscriptions for various academic databases with an HSE e-mail along with a good discount or free of charge;

3.      Microsoft provides all students the opportunity to use all Office 365 applications for free (e.g., Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Sway, OneNote, etc.), as well as 5Gb of space in OneDrive. As of today, all students may also use the Yammer social network, which is an integrated part of Office 365;

4.      All students can download the latest version of Microsoft Office (available for Windows and MacOS), while students of the Faculty of Business and Management (School of Business Informatics), Faculty of Computer Science and MIEM can access Microsoft DreamSpark and use various Microsoft software products on beneficial terms. More detailed information is available on the IT Office website;

5.      HSE student e-mail doesn’t have a limited period of use, so all HSE graduates may continue using it to get notifications on various university events;

6.      Access to the hse.ru Wi-Fi networks without limitation in terms of connection speed or session duration.

How HSE e-mail addresses can be used to access HSE services:

1.      HSE student e-mail acts as a login to LMS, the university’s internal system, which includes lists of available subjects in the curriculum, online academic records, and other HSE academic services. More detailed information is available here;

2.      University e-mail addresses allow students to access the online scheduling system in order to show individual schedules in a special module of the LMS system and the HSE RUZ mobile app, which is available for iOS, Android and Windows Phone. The bot in Telegram is also authorized via student e-mail. More information on the online scheduling system is available here;

3.      Staff of study offices and other HSE departments send their notifications primarily via e-mails;

4.      Official requests to the university’s administration should also be sent via HSE e-mails.

All information about working with the HSE e-mail service is available in the Academic Handbook.

*You can find the schedule of meetings on your educational programme’s website.
