<p>Does anyone know when newly admitted freshmen, those who will begin in the fall of 2013, will be able to use their cal emails? The site asked to create a CalNet ID but I was wondering when our emails will become activated so we can actually start using them.</p>
<p>After you create your CalNet ID (which will be your email sign-in), you have to submit your SIR in order to access a bunch of other services, including email. Once you SIR, it takes about an hour to register in the system, then you can access bConnected’s Email function. If you’re curious about the email system itself, it’s a gmail based client, and you can connect to your other preexisting gmail accounts for easy access to multiple inboxes.</p>
