<p>At my current school, scores are mailed to the students about a week after the test with the class average, score, how many people scored higher/lower, etc...</p>
<p>How are exam scores reported at stony brook? and how do new students get an email account and do you access it(what is the website)?</p>
<p>Solar shows final grades and blackboard shows exam grades, if your prof uses blackboard that is. Nothing is mailed.</p>
<p>what is this blackboard thing you talk about?</p>
<p>what about the email client, where can I find it?</p>
<p>Both of those need to be set up through solar because you create a separate password for each. You can email the tech office and they will help you.</p>
<p>OK, but can anyone provide me with actual information???</p>
<ul>
<li>What is the school's official email client? (you know, <a href="mailto:username@sbu.edu">username@sbu.edu</a>???) how do I access it?</li>
</ul>
<p>I tried looking it up but came accorss lotus notes and ic webmail, what is the difference between these two?</p>

<p>This is the help desk for the e-mail stuff. It's called your "Sparky" account (named after the Unix server it sits on) Here's the info:</p>
<p>GETTING AN EMAIL ACCOUNT</p>
<p>For most new students email accounts will be generated automatically.
To find out about your email account, please login to SOLAR. To open an email account, a student must come in person to any of the following computer labs:</p>
<pre><code>* Main Library SINC site, located at Frank Melville Jr., Memorial Library,
Room S-1460
* Student Union SINC Site, Room 080 (basement)
* Computing Center, Dispatch Room 138
* Health Science Center Computer Room, HSC library 3rd floor
</code></pre>
<p>Hope this helps.</p>

<p>then, what is the lotus notes?</p>
<p>How is that email different than sparky in terms of what goes after the username (you know, @msn.com or @ic.suny....)?</p>
<p>Lotus Notes is just the software you can use to check your e-mail. It's not a Stony Brook product.</p>
