Note for Students: Once your @unr.edu email has been activated you can update your preferred email contact for Campus communications in MyNevada via the instructions outlined in the Email section of the MyNevada Updating your Personal Information article.

Note for Employees: Some departments require a separate alias for University business. Please contact your department to determine if an alias is necessary. By default, all UNR employees will get the standard netid@unr.edu email address. If your department uses a special email domain other than @unr.edu, please fill out this New Email Alias Service Request Form. The email domain is the web address that comes after the @ symbol in an email address, such as @med.unr.edu or @asun.unr.edu.
