Full E-mail Account with Passphrase/Password

A full e-mail account can be forwarded to multiple people using the NUIT Mail Tools Service. No changes are required during vacations if more than one person is responsible for managing the account. This kind of account may be used to edit Web sites.

Passphrases/passwords must be changed every 120 days. These accounts are not available for student use. Because mail can be sent directly from this kind of account with relative anonymity, all persons with access to the account will be equally culpable should any mail be sent from the account which violates policies or laws.

Creation of a forwarding e-mail address must be requested by a Dean, Director, Department Chair or Medical School Administrator. Send requests via e-mail to email-accounts@northwestern.edu.

A designated additional editor can control where the e-mail is directed as well as other directory information by making changes on the Edit Directory Information page on the NUIT Web site.
