How to Access EIU Panthermail

PantherMail, Eastern Illinois University’s email system, is the official channel for all academic and university notices.

You should check your EIU PantherMail account on a regular basis because it is powered by Microsoft Office 365. Class schedules, student financial aid notifications, and Business Office account statements are examples of official communication.

Missed messages can occur if you do not monitor your PantherMail inbox. It is your responsibility to ensure that your PantherMail account is checked on a regular basis and has enough free space to receive university communication.

The most convenient way to access your PantherMail is through the secure Web interface at eiu.edu/panthermail. All you need is a computer with an Internet connection and a Web browser; no special software is required. To begin, enter your NetID and password in the appropriate fields.

You can also access your account from the EIU home page by clicking the EIU PantherMail link in the upper right corner.
