The AUC mail services are now automated on the Ad Astra system. This automation will help us provide speedy services, collect accurate data and build a genuine tracking method to avoid lost mails through the AUC email process.
**The process for using Mail Services on the Ad Astra system is as follows:**
- System link [Ad Astra](https://www.aaiscloud.com/AmericanUCairo/default.aspx?home)
- You will log in with your email credentials (your AUC username and password)
- On the top left side of the homepage, you will find mail service forms to choose your request, whether internal or courier mail
- Click the form, the system will capture the data and you will have to fill the required fields and submit your request
- Make sure to read the form instructions carefully
- The Ad Astra system will send you an acknowledgment email that your request has been received
- Our team will work on collecting and checking all mail requests accordingly
**Important Note**: The pickup of any mail will be available only through the received requests on the system.
