Authentication system

Thanks to the University Authentication system, all Ca’ Foscari employees have unique login details to access online applications and services, such as email and Google Apps for Education services, university Personal Area, electronic library resources, etc.

Remember not to share your password with anyone, not even with university staff. Any requests for personal passwords is online fraud (phishing).

Every employee is normally entitled to only one account. For any further requests or special circumstances contact  account@unive.it.
The email service is managed by the operator Google, according to the following user policies: 

The e-mail service is one of many free services available from the operator Google, as part of an agreement with the University.

University employees can keep their email account even after retirement.

If you check your email via webmail, you can check the logins made to your inbox. After the list of emails, the writing is shown on the bottom-right:
