II. Electronic Communications
Syracuse University has established e-mail as a primary vehicle for official
communication with students. Emergency notifications, educational dialogue, research
and general business correspondence are all consistently enhanced in institutions
of higher learning where e-mail policies exist and are supported by procedures,
practice and culture.
An official e-mail address is established and assigned by Information Technology and
Services for each registered student, and current faculty and staff member.
All University communications sent via e-mail will be sent to this address.
Faculty members will use the official University e-mail address to communicate
with a student registered in their classes and administrative units will
correspond with students via this address.
The University expects that students will receive and read e-mail in a timely
manner. Students are expected to maintain their accounts and check their e-mail
daily so that new mail will be properly received and read. A student's failure
to receive and read University communications delivered to his/her official
e-mail address in a timely manner does not absolve that student from knowing and
complying with the content of such communications.
While students are allowed to redirect e-mail from their official University
e-mail address to another address (e.g. @hotmail.com, @aol.com), they do so at
their own risk. The University is not responsible for the handling of e-mail by
other service providers. Having e-mail redirected does not absolve students from
knowing and complying with the content of the communication sent to their
official University e-mail address.
