Overview
Email aliases are email addresses which can be used at the University to receive email. (NOTE - You can send from your official University email address only)
You may request the addition, or removal, of email aliases to your email account using this Email Alias Request Form. All requests for email aliases are reviewed by a member of the IT Service Desk staff. The business rules used to approve or deny all requests for email aliases are listed below.
Email Alias Considerations
- Requests for aliases which contain names of offices and/or departments, or abbreviations of same, will not be granted on personal accounts.
- Requests for aliases which contain titles, abbreviations of titles, or aliases considered to be functional (i.e. president, secretary, prez, MathClubPrez, HistorySecretary, DeanOfStudents, etc.) will not be granted on personal accounts.
- Requested aliases will not be granted if the alias does not have any clear and recognizable derivative of the requesting user's legal or preferred name (e.g., a nickname, shortened name, or initial), or to some official affiliation the user has with the University.
- Since any alias assigned to an official University email account will be a public identifier, and will be used for official communication with University affiliates, any request for an alias which is deemed to be vulgar, profane, or otherwise inappropriate for public use will be denied.
- Requests for email aliases must be submitted in writing to the IT department, and must contain the requested alias, the requesting users name, and the reasoning for the request.
