UF Email Address

I received an email last week to my gmail account that a UF email address had been created for me, and that all correspondence would be sent there going forward. I have not committed to UF, as I was accepted to PaCe, and filed a term change request that I have not heard back on. I was under the impression that you only got the UF email once you committed. Has anyone else received this notification who has not committed to UF?

yes, I believe upon acceptance they created a UF email address for all those accepted

It seems if you get a gatorlink account, you can set up a UF email. My son just officially accepted today but he was able to set up a UF email before he “accepted”.
