Your AUP NetID

Each account starts with a unique AUP NetID. It is the computer network account that gives you access to the University’s digital services. 

You can use your NetID as a key to access the student or faculty portal, computers on campus, your personal storage space, your email account, Blackboard, campus Wi-Fi, your library account and more.

 

If you're a student, your AUP NetID will be "a" followed by your student number - ex: a123456.

If you're a faculty or staff member, your AUP NetID is the first letter of your first name followed by your last name. For example, if your name is David Smith, it will be dsmith.

You can log in to "My AUP" to find more information about your NetID.

For any question related to Internet access at AUP, please see our dedicated page.

Your AUP email

Upon enrollment, every student, faculty and staff member is given an AUP email account. 

All official university communications are sent to your AUP email address. It is therefore important that you check it daily. Please note that email automatic forwarding to an external domain is not allowed. 

Your primary email address is composed of your NetID + @aup.edu (NetIDataup.edu) and it has the same password as your NetID. Besides, anyone can email you typing your​ firstname.lastnameataup.edu, your alternative email address. 

> If you're a student:

  • Your primary email address is therefore the letter 'a' followed by your student number + @aup.edu (ex: a123456ataup.edu)
  • Your alternative email address looks like "sarah.wallaceataup.edu."

> If you're a faculty or staff member: 

  • Your primary email address is therefore the initial of your first name followed by your last name + @aup.edu (ex: dsmithataup.edu)  
  • Your alternative email address looks like “david.smithataup.edu.”

Please note: your primary email address in the one you are using to log in to Office 365, and any other service that requires your AUP email address to log in.  

To check your email at any time online: 

  • Go to https://www.office.com 
  • Sign in 
  • Enter your primary AUP email (i.e. a123456ataup.edu for students and dsmithataup.edu for faculty and staff members) as well as your password. 
  • Click on the Outlook icon  

We strongly recommend that you download the Outlook app on any device you see fit, so that you can access your inbox at any time as long as you have an internet connection.

Digital Storage Space

 

Students, faculty and staff members are offered a digital storage space called OneDrive on the AUP Office 365 platform (one terabyte, the equivalent of 200 hours of film, which is a lot.)​​​​​ Access your personal file storage on OneDrive via https://www.office.com. This is secure way to store your files on the cloud. You can connect to OneDrive at any time from any device with an internet connection.  

Print, Scan and Copy

AUP printing service is now available as Print as a Service (PaaS). ​

This service enables staff and students to use their university ID card to print, copy and scan on SHARP multifunction devices (MFDs). ​Thanks to the PaaS "secure print" function, your document will only print when you swipe your card to a MFD device. This ensures you're the only one who collects your document. ​

When you click "Print", your printing job is sent to a general virtual queue called AUPrint. You simply have to go to the most convenient SHARP MFD for you. Just use your AUP ID card to release your print job(s).​​

If you are using this service for the first time, your AUP ID card must be associated with the printing system. To do so, please ​see the User Guide for Sharp Printer MFD in the right sidebar.

Can I use my personal email address instead of my AUP address?

Only the messages related to your AUP NetID maintenance and password reset will be sent to your personal address.

  • A regular A4 page in black and white costs 5 cents
  • A regular A4 page in color costs 10 cents
