Email is the most commonly used service on the Internet.
A user account, which is also referred to as a logon name or username, is a method to validate you as a legitimate user of a system. Individual usernames on systems at the College are standardized in the format first initial followed by last name. An exception to that standard occurs when more than 1 person has the same first initial and last name. These accounts are given to all BSC students. They will remain active as long as students continue attending BSC, including summer and break periods.
