Students of the Silesian University of Technology receive e-mail accounts in the student.polsl.pl domain. This happens after the candidate is accepted for studies. A newly enrolled student does not need to take any action to obtain an account. The candidate's login and password are sent to the private e-mail of the student, provided during the recruitment. The private e-mail of a student in the USOS system may be changed at the student's request at the Student Service Office (BOS). There is no need to take any other action. All accounts have addresses according to the scheme @ student.polsl.pl. The password for the USOSWEB account and the e-mail account is the same. In case of problems with login or password, please contact BOS.

First of all, check whether the settings of your e-mail programme comply with the configuration instructions on the website https://www.polsl.pl/pomoc/en/.
The next step is to check if the connections with the server are not blocked by software such as firewall or antivirus installed on the computer you use. It happens that such software blocks mail transfer.
Also install the latest version of your email program and update your operating system. For Windows systems, use the "Windows Update" service. As part of the "Windows Update" service, install the optional "Microsoft Update" functionality. This will update other Microsoft software (e.g. Microsoft Office) and not only the Windows operating system itself.

The password can be changed at any time on the password change page.
The criteria for correcting the new password are as follows:
- password must be at least 12 characters long;
- the password must contain at least 3 of the following 4 character groups: capital letters of the English alphabet, lowercase letters of the English alphabet, numbers, special characters;
- the password must be different than the previously used password for the POLSL.PL domain account;
- password cannot contain first name, surname and username;
- the password should not contain Polish characters, due to possible problems resulting from the different encoding of Polish characters in various applications and systems.
