<p>I have notice many friends who are setting up their facebooks with their UC schools...how can I do that if I'm going to UCI? Have they enabled us to set up an email address yet? Could somebody direct me in the right way...because I am clueless. Thanks</p>
<p>I think incoming UCI students wait until late-June to set up E-Mail addresses.</p>

<p>There ya go, bud. June 9th for undergrad, 17th for grad.</p>
<p>I'm really curious about what my e-mail address will be. There's already someone with the same first and last name as me attending UCI, so I know I won't get the traditional (first name initial+last name)@uci.edu. :\ I'm hoping they throw in my middle initial or something.</p>
<p>I really wish that we didn't have to wait so long. Oh well.</p>
<p>If it's anything like our UCSD emails, you'll most likely have some numbers attached to your username.</p>
<p>i want my uci email addy! haha</p>
<p>Wow they keep changing the date we can activiate our UCInetID's! First it was 6/20, then 7/1, now 6/9. COOL.</p>
<p>I believe you can change your email address on the NACS website.</p>
<p>here are the guidelines: <a href="http://www.nacs.uci.edu/ucinetid/change-policy.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.nacs.uci.edu/ucinetid/change-policy.html</a></p>
<p>In any case, I've forwarded all my UCI email to a gmail account because gmail allows for free forwarding and has over 2.5GB of storage.</p>
<p>I think the default email after first initial/last name is first initial/middle initial/last name. So if your name is George W. Bush and <a href="mailto:gbush@uci.edu">gbush@uci.edu</a> is already taken, then you get <a href="mailto:gwbush@uci.edu">gwbush@uci.edu</a>. If that's already taken, then I think the third default is last name/first initial or first name/last initial.</p>
<p>The numbers don't come into play for a while. Usually it's just the Lees, Nguyens, Smiths, and other common names that get numbers attached to them.</p>
<p>^what? george bush is going to uci!?</p>
<p>only a few more days till were on facebook, people!</p>
<p>"only a few more days till were on facebook, people!"</p>
<p>Yay ^^!</p>
<p>2 weeks, that's still a long time to go....</p>
<p>It's actually June 9, this Friday.</p>
<p>Facebook will waste your life. But don't listen to me.</p>
<p>oh, they musta changed it. before it said the 20th? yay, how fun.</p>
<p>Yeah, facebook is cool and all, but I really don't know why people get this excited about it. But it does waste your life.</p>
<p>haha, how does it "waste" your life? i think your life would have to be pretty lame for something like facebook to waste it in the first place</p>
<p>You will see.</p>
