Web-Based Email
Email is the primary method of contact for administrative announcements. All students are responsible for checking email regularly.
Upon admission to FSU, all students are assigned an FSU "Garnet" email address, which is usually your initials followed by the year you entered FSU (as an undergrad or as a law student) followed by @garnet.acns.fsu.edu. (For example: Aaron C. Brown, who entered FSU in 2002, would probably have the address acb02@garnet.acns.fsu.edu. If acb02@garnet.acns.fsu.edu was already taken by Adam C. Baker, Aaron's address would be acb02b@garnet.acns.fsu.edu.) To register for a Garnet account - which also includes free dialup access and your own webspace - please go to cars.acns.fsu.edu and click on "New Accounts".
Email can be checked using an email client such as Outlook Express, Eudora, or Netscape Mail, or by using the web-based interface known as EmuMail. For instructions on configuring an email client to read your Garnet email, please view the documentation available on the email clients section of the Helpdesk website.
If you prefer to check your Garnet email via the web, simply point your web-browser to webmail.fsu.edu. Enter your Garnet username and password, then change the "POP/IMAP Host" box to "garnet.acns.fsu.edu. Once you click the "Login and Check Email" button you will be presented with an interface that's fairly similar to Hotmail or Yahoo, and which should be reasonably familiar to you. Documentation for EmuMail can be found here.
If you forget your password, you can reset it at password.fsu.edu.
If you'd like to forward your Garnet email to an account you already check regularly, simply go to the Account Maintenance section of the CARS website and enter the appropriate information.
All technical support for Garnet accounts is handled through User Services on main campus. If you have problems or questions, please call the helpdesk at 644-8502 or email helpdesk@admin.fsu.edu.
