Student Email Accounts
The Penn Carey Law student email system is hosted in Office 365.
- Email addresses use the format lawkey@pennlaw.upenn.edu (or lawkey@penncareylaw.upenn.edu for students entering Fall 2022 and later).
- In addition to email, students will also have access to a full featured Outlook Calendar.
- All students are required to setup Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) on their Penn Carey Law email account.
Student Email Address Transition
All student/alumni email will transition incrementally over two years from @pennlaw.upenn.edu to @penncareylaw.upenn.edu
Logging in to your Office 365 Email Account
You will be able to access your Office 365 email account via the Outlook Web App at https://outlook.office365.com. Login using your full email address and LawKey password.
Students can also access their Penn Law email from their mobile device. Please note that a passcode is required on the device. See instructions on ITS Online.
Locked out of your account due to Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) problems?
If you are experiencing MFA problems or have a new phone and need to setup MFA, please review our MFA guide.
Automatic Online Archiving
Large email accounts cause Outlook to slow down, take longer to search, and crash more often. Online archiving will automatically move emails older than two years into an online archive.
The archive folders appear in a section named Archive located below your normal folders and are searchable just like regular emails. The archive is available whenever you are connected to the Internet through Outlook for Windows and Outlook Web App
Looking for all emails sent to your class? Follow instructions on accessing Mailing List archives
Prefer to forward your Penn Law email to an existing account?
You will be able to manage mail forwarding using the Outlook Web App (https://outlook.office365.com). Full instructions are available in this Support Article.
