E-mail

For Students

All students have a Crimson Gmail account created for them when they first enter the University. This is considered their official University of Alabama e-mail address, and it will be used by University departments to disseminate information and listed in the campus directory (unless the student has requested non-disclosure of directory information).

For Faculty/Staff

Most faculty and staff have e-mail addresses in their own departments. These vary in how they are accessed and whether they can be used off-campus.

All faculty and staff are also eligible for Bama accounts, which can be accessed from anywhere using the myBama Web site.

For Retirees

Retirees are eligible to keep their University e-mail addresses. You should check with the HelpDesk or your departmental computer support staff about whether you should continue using a departmental e-mail address or a Bama account.

Other Accounts

Departments, organizations, and visitors may be eligible for Bama accounts.

Listserv Mailing Lists

Listserv mailing lists are appropriate for use by organizations, classes, departments, committees, and other groups that need to communicate to or with their members.
