A UMIACS account includes a username@umiacs.umd.edu e-mail address. If you are a University of Maryland employee, this address is required to forward to your directoryid@umd.edu e-mail address. If you are not a University of Maryland employee, you can forward this address to an external email provider. (e.g. gmail, yahoo, etc.)


===[[ExchangeEmail|Microsoft Exchange Email]]===
If your UMIACS account was closed within the last year, we can provide forwarding for this address (username@umiacs.umd.edu) up until one year from the date that the account was closed '''upon request only'''.  If you would like us to set this up, please [[HelpDesk | contact staff]] and let us know the address to forward to.
