Personalizing Your E-mail Address
Faculty/Staff Members OnlyIf you prefer a more personalized or shorter e-mail address than what you currently have, follow these steps:
- Login to the e-Campus system at www.uri.edu/ecampus using your e-Campus user ID and password.
- Select: Home > HR Self Service > Employee > Home > URI Directory Profile
- Click the Email and Internet link at the bottom of the screen.
- In the Your Email Address: field, enter the e-mail address to which you want your campus e-mail delivered; for example, johnsmith@mail.uri.edu or johnsmith347@hotmail.com. If you already entered an address here another time, it will appear in the box. You can edit it or skip to the next field.
-
In the Personalized E-Mail Address: field, enter the personalized (also called alias) or shorter e-mail name of your choice as follows:
Enter only the name; the standard suffix, @uri.edu, is already entered in the field for you and will be appended automatically. Your new e-mail address will then be of the form:
personalizedname@uri.edu
or, for example, if you entered johns:
johns@uri.edu
The personalized name string can be up to 30 characters long and can contain any alphabetic and numeric characters, including a combination.
The only accepted special characters are: underscore, period, and plus sign.
All mail addressed to johns@uri.edu will be delivered to the address you specified in step 4. - The next field, Alternate E-Mail Address:, enter a second e-mail address if you wish. This address is for publishing purposes only. It will appear in your directory listing and offers your correspondents an alternative address when e-mailing you.
- If you have a Website, you can enter its Web URL in the Website Address: field.
- Click OK, then Save.
