3. Redirecting of e-mail
A student may have e-mail electronically redirected to another e-mail address. If a student wishes to have e-mail redirected from his or her official address to another e-mail address (e.g., @aol.com, @hotmail.com, or an address on a departmental server), they may do so, but at his or her own risk. The University will not be responsible for the handling of e-mail by outside vendors or by departmental servers. Having e-mail redirected does not absolve a student from the responsibilities associated with communication sent to his or her official e-mail address.

4. Expectations regarding student
use of e-mail
Students are expected to check their official e-mail address on a frequent and consistent basis in order to stay current with University communications. The campus recommends checking e-mail once a week at a minimum, in recognition that certain communications may be time-critical.

5. Educational uses of e-mail

It is highly recommended that if faculty have e-mail requirements and expectations they specify these requirements in their course syllabus. Faculty may expect that students' official e-mail addresses are being accessed, and faculty may use e-mail for their courses accordingly.
