What e-mail address do students use?
Students’ e-mail addresses end with @metropolia.fi . It is best to use an address of the format userID@metropolia.fi. Aliases made to such accounts are usually of the format firstname.lastname@metropolia.fi. Users who have the same name form an exception. In their case, beginning with the second user’s address, a number or a second initial is added between the first name and the last name. Students can check their default alias from Amme.
