<p>Every Columbia student – grad or ugrad – faculty, or staff is issued a UNI and a @columbia.edu address. </p>
<p>SEAS students do not get @seas.columbia.edu.</p>
<p>To the extent that you’re in a department with its own server, you get both.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yet CS profs/grad students certainly have UNIs.</p>
<p>Chem also has their own email addresses, but I don’t think anyone used them.</p>
<p>
I heard that from someone at AcIS but I don’t think they were on the email team so it was second-hand. If you know differently, for sure, post away.</p>
<p>Can anyone confirm the “rumor” that <a href=“mailto:firstname.lastname@columbia.edu”>firstname.lastname@columbia.edu</a> forwarding has been ended?</p>
<p>I just tried emailing my friend with <a href=“mailto:firstname.lastname@columbia.edu”>firstname.lastname@columbia.edu</a> and it failed.</p>
<p>Not to beat a dead horse, but I know of many other universities who let prefrosh pick their account name/email address. MIT, for example, gives you complete freedom, and UPenn gives you several choices consisting of combinations of your first and last names.</p>
<p>Can’t CUIT just suck it up and just let us choose our own account name? I thought going to college meant being at least a bit more responsible…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>i tried it and it still works.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>u r blowing this very minor thing way out of proportion</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It’s not responsibility. It’s because the system is created and it’ll be work for someone to overhaul it.</p>
<p>firstname.lastname is working fine here.</p>
<p>I’m guessing it only works for current students and not pre-frosh? Or am I wrong?</p>
