Although the Interchange email service is operational and still accepting some new subscribers, the service will soon be phased out due to aging hardware and lack of vendor support. There is a replacement service called FASmail (Faculty and Staff Email.) There is a project underway to migrate faculty, staff and Emeriti from Interchange to FASmail. More information about this project and service is available here.
Before requesting an Interchange account, please check with your department's IT admin staff to determine if your department is already using FASmail.
Interchange for All
If you're a UBC professor Emeriti, you may be eligible for a funded Interchange Express Emeritus 30 account.
What's included?
The Emeritus IFA account gives you a subscription to UBC's Interchange service, which provides Internet access and an email account with 200 MB of mailbox space.
How Do You Apply?
Step 1) Print out and fill in the Interchange-For-All Application.
Step 2) Hand in the completed application form to your departmental Computer Accounts Officer or the UBC IT Accounts Dept. They will then register you for an Interchange account.
