You will receive your Butler username and email address about one week after you’re admitted. Instructions for establishing a password for the first time are available here. You must establish your password before you will be able to access Butler sites. If you have trouble accessing Butler systems, please submit a case via ask.butler.edu.
Don’t want to check multiple email accounts? You can forward your Butler email to your primary email account.
Information about preparing your technology for campus, the Butler App, smartphone email set up instructions, and more is available at Information Technology’s Quick Start for Admitted Students resource.
As a new member of the Butler community, it’s very important that you are regularly checking your Butler email address. We suggest forwarding your Butler emails to your personal email address. Butler faculty, staff, and other students will only use your Butler email address to communicate important information and provide updates related to the Butler community and the MSBA program. Students are expected to maintain their Butler email account, and are responsible for being responsive.
For information about preparing your technology, phone email set-up instructions, and more, visit the Butler Information Technology website.
