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 that 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.
