Personalize Your Student E-Mail Address
You may choose an additional e-mail address for your Mizzou student e-mail account. This address is derived from your name and it may be easier to use. Your current e-mail address (username@mail.mizzou.edu) will continue to work, and you will receive messages sent to both addresses.
Important note: This is an additional e-mail address, not a new Mizzou username. You will still need to use your Mizzou username to log in to your technology accounts, including e-mail, computing site machines, Blackboard, WebCT, and other systems that require your username and password to log in. Your password will not change.
Things to Know Before Personalizing Your E-Mail Address
- If you have asserted Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), the University is required to withhold your directory information, including your e-mail account; therefore, you cannot have a personalized e-mail address. If you assert FERPA after selecting a personalized e-mail address, your personalized e-mail address will be automatically removed within 24-48 hours without notice. Any mail sent to the personalized address will not be delivered.
- Choosing a personalized e-mail address might cause issues with posting messages to on-campus or off-campus lists. Your new address may not be allowed to send to a listserv after enabling your new personalized e-mail address. Unsubscribing and then resubscribing using your new address should fix this problem. Your ability to receive postings from the listserv should not be affected.
- Your message will still appear to come from Last Name, First Name (UMC-Student). However, the e-mail address will appear as your new personalized address.
How It Works
On the Personalize My E-Mail Address page, you will see a list of options derived from your name. You may only choose one personalized e-mail address. For example, Truman T. Tiger would see something similar to the list shown here. Even though some letters may be capitalized, your new address will not be case-sensitive. After choosing your personalized e-mail address, it may take up to an hour to go into effect. If you run the Personalize My E-Mail Address application more than once, the new address will replace the previously-chosen personalized address.
Personalized E-Mail Address Terms
Please read the following terms before proceeding to personalize your MU e-mail address:
- This is a new e-mail address and does not replace your Mizzou username (PawPrint) when logging in to MU technology accounts.
- If you have or in the future choose to assert the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), you are not eligible for a personalized e-mail address. If you have already set up a personalized address, it will be discontinued without notice upon your assertion of FERPA.
- Creating a personalized e-mail address may cause problems with some listservs to which you subscribe. You might need to unsubscribe and resubscribe to lists.
- Once you choose your personalized e-mail address, it may take up to an hour to go into effect.
If you agree to these terms, you may proceed to the Personalize My E-Mail Address application.
