Email Address Management

SHSU allows faculty, staff, and students to create an alias email address. You may set the alias email address as your primary contact at SHSU which will be displayed in the online directory and on outgoing email.

Your off-site e-mail address will enable you to take advantage of new self-service tools such as resetting your password when it expires.

NOTICE: If you have an existing Zoom account, you MUST follow these steps before updating your primary email address (e.g., alias email).
