Email is considered an official form of University-related communication. It is recommended that students check their email daily in order to stay current with University-related communications. Students have the responsibility to recognize that certain communications may be time-critical. Students interested in opting out of email communication should review the following section, Student Consent to the Electronic Delivery of Official University Communications and Records. Failure to check for messages and failure to receive messages due to full mailboxes, spam filtering, or auto-forwarded email are not acceptable excuses for missing official University communications. Students must maintain and provide the University with an email address other than their Global Campus-issued email address. In addition, students may choose to use their Global Campus-issued email address as their primary mechanism for University communications.
Student Consent to the Electronic Delivery of Official University Communications and Records
The ESIGN Act, 15 U.S.C. Section 7001 et seq., requires the University of Arizona Global Campus to provide students with certain information about how electronic records are provided, and to obtain student consent to provide certain records in electronic form. In order to enroll, apply for, or receive information about financial aid, obtain or authorize the release of information from student records, and conduct other business with the University of Arizona Global Campus, online students must indicate consent to sign agreements electronically, and receive records from the University in electronic form. A student’s consent to the electronic delivery of official University communications and records is collected in the online application.
Students may withdraw consent to electronic delivery, retention, and execution of records by sending a fax to (866) 512-7601 or a letter to the Office of the Registrar located at 180 South Arizona Avenue, Suite #301 Chandler, AZ 85225, including the statement “I withdraw my consent to electronic delivery, retention, and execution of records.” Any withdrawal of consent shall have prospective effect only, and shall not affect the legal effectiveness, validity or enforceability of consents, agreements, notices, disclosures, or other records provided or made available prior to the withdrawal of consent. If such consent is withdrawn, students may be administratively withdrawn from the University.
Monitoring of Email Communications: The University does not intend to monitor individual electronic mail as a routine matter, but may do so at any time as the University deems necessary for purposes of maintaining the integrity and effective operation of the student email system. No facility exists on this system for the sending or receiving of private communications.
The University reserves the right to inspect and disclose the contents of email as follows: in the course of an investigation triggered by indications of misconduct or misuse; as needed to protect the health and safety of students and staff; as needed to prevent interference with the academic mission; or as needed for technical troubleshooting or spam/content filtering.
Contact Information
All students should regularly review and update their contact information to ensure the University has a valid mailing address, telephone number, and email address. The University of Arizona Global Campus maintains this information as part of the student record and requires students to update their contact information regardless of whether they have requested nondisclosure of directory information.
Relocating to a different state after admission into a degree program may impact whether students can remain in the degree program, meet the state licensure requirements, and/or continue to receive financial aid funding.
Personal Email for the University of Arizona Global Campus Students
The University issues an email account to all students, and they are responsible for any and all activity and communication that takes place using the account.
