UGA Email Address Registration FAQ

Why do I have to register an email address?

The requirement is a matter of UGA policy. This policy states, in part:

"There are current and emerging needs that necessitate official communication among individuals or groups of individuals via email or other electronic means."

Why do I have to use my UGA MyID to register and/or verify my email address?

Your UGA MyID and password provide a secure means of identifying you. Since potentially sensitive information may be sent to you, it is important that the address be verified as yours.

What if I don't remember my UGA MyID or the password?

Visit the UGA MyID website. As a security feature, you are required to change your password if you have forgotten it. NOTE: If you are using UGAMail for your email and you have set up your desktop email software to remember your password, you will have to reset the password in your desktop email software the next time you read your mail.

Do I have to register a UGAMail email address?

No. You should register the email address at which you would prefer to receive any official announcements.

Why do I have to register my email address and then go through the verification web page?

Since potentially sensitive information may be sent to you, it is important that the registered address be verified.
