Configure Your Campus Email Routing Address

The University of Iowa sends official email to your email routing address. Therefore, it is very important that you configure your email routing address to direct email to an account that you read frequently and regularly.

Use Your Campus Email Routing Address as Your Official Campus Email Address

Your Mathematical Sciences email account will expire when your affiliation with Mathematical Sciences ends--when you graduate, end enrollment, or leave employment with one of the departments. But, your email routing alias will remain effective for some time after. Therefore, you should use your email routing alias as your official campus email address. Share your email routing alias with others, instead of your Mathematical Sciences email address. Do not put your Mathematical Sciences email address on resumes, papers, grants, in email, or in any other publication or communication. Then, when you do leave Mathematical Sciences, you can configure your email routing address to any other email address you may be using at that time.

Read Your Mathematical Sciences Email

Faculty and staff in Mathematical Sciences send important email to your Mathematical Sciences email account. It is very important that you either read your Mathematical Sciences email, or you forward your Mathematical Sciences email to an account that you do read often.
