Questions About Changing Your University Email Address
If I don't like the University email address name that has been assigned to me, may I select a new one?

Yes, you will have the opportunity to select a new email address name, if you wish.

May I change my email address name as often as I like?

Please make your choice carefully. At this time, except for cases of legal name change, you may only change a University email address name one time.

If my legal name changes through marriage or divorce, how soon may I change my University email address name?

Once your legal name has been changed in the human resources system, you will be able to select a new University email address name. Please note that you must make this change; the system will not automatically make it.

If I change my University email address, will mail sent to the previous email address be forwarded?

No. Once you make the decision to change your address, the change will take effect within 24 hours. At that time, you will need to notify everyone as soon as possible to let them know your new email address.
