Adding an Email Alias to Your NevadaBox Account

When you log into NevadaBox, the primary email address is automatically set based on your primary affiliation with the University:

• Students: your university email address (netid@unr.edu) EXCEPT active students who were enrolled prior to Fall 2024 who will have their @nevada.unr.edu.
• Employees: your employee email address (netid@unr.edu) 

Students who work for the University will have an account created via their employee email address. 

Can I Change My Primary Email Address?

For employees, your NevadaBox primary email address will always be netid@unr.edu. If you don't have access to that email, please refer to the email activation instructions.

For students, it will always be your university email address (netid@unr.edu) EXCEPT active students who were enrolled prior to Fall 2024 who will have their @nevada.unr.edu.

Adding Email Aliases

We understand that not every employee at the University uses their @unr.edu email address. People wishing to collaborate with you may know you at a different email account (i.e. @medicine.unr.edu or @casat.org). When you first log into NevadaBox, our system will automatically add some email aliases to your account. However, email addresses that don't use our central email servers (such as @casat.org or @cabnr.unr.edu) will not be automatically added. Therefore, Nevadabox allows you to add "Email Aliases" that allow others to collaborate with you by entering in a different email address, but still reaching your one NevadaBox account.


 

We highly recommend that all employees check their listed email aliases in NevadaBox for anything that might be missing.
