Email shall be considered an appropriate mechanism for official communication by Indiana University . The University reserves the right to send official communications to students by email with the full expectation that students will receive email and read these emails in a timely fashion. Students are expected to check their email on a frequent and consistent basis in order to stay current with university-related communications. Students must insure that there is sufficient space in their accounts to allow for email to be delivered. Students have the responsibility to recognize that certain communications may be time-critical. Students who choose to have their email forwarded to a private (unofficial) email address outside the official university network address do so at their own risk. The University is not responsible for any difficulties that may occur in the proper or timely transmission or access of email forwarded to any unofficial email address, and any such problems will not absolve students of their responsibility to know and comply with the content of official communications sent to students' official IU email addresses.
