Student E-mail Forwarding

Official University e-mail may be forwarded to a non-University e-mail account. However, NUIT does not recommend forwarding e-mail by students due to security and data integrity concerns.

As an active student of the University, there may be instances where you will need to forward University e-mail. Follow the steps under the appropriate heading to forward your e-mail.

• Students with @u.northwestern.edu or @nlaw.northwestern.edu accounts

  • Please visit the Help Center for forwarding instructions.

• Students, including Feinberg, Kellogg, and Law, with centrally hosted mailboxes (your name@northwestern.edu)

  1. Go to Edit Your Directory Information.
  2. Click the View/Edit Your Information button.
  3. Click Modify to the right of the Mailbox field.
  4. Add the new e-mail address.
  5. Click the Change button.

Note: A forwarding e-mail address cannot be changed after a NetID is deactivated.
