Faculty and staff may request an increase by logging in with their UH Username and password at the Managing Your UH Username site, then clicking on the "Check Quota/Request More Space" link under the "Mail, Antispam, & Quota Options" section and complete the requested information. Students will need a faculty or staff sponsor to receive an increase in email or disk space.
Faculty and staff are provided an increase to 750MB on first request. After this, faculty and staff are asked to be diligent about archiving their email off to their computer for other media.
Students are eligible for a temporary increase of their quota for class projects. Students should have their instructor email req-quota-l@hawaii.edu with the class name, the amount of space required, and the student's email account. A quota increase will be granted until the end of the semester at which time the student must clear out their email account below 250MB so the quota can be reset back to 250MB.
Since this is a limited, shared resource, it is recommended that you review the document "Email and Your Quota" before making a request to ensure that you have removed or backed up any email you no longer need.
