The Multimedia Office mostly works with Loca-Images and Amazon to order new material.

Can I use my personal email address instead of my AUP address?

Your AUP email account cannot be forwarded to an external address. You have to use your AUP email address when conducting university business because important messages from the university are often only sent by email. Only the messages related to your AUP NetID maintenance and password reset will be sent to your personal address.

Also, the IT department will use this address to keep you informed of application updates, warnings, training and other technical information. Please check your AUP email on a regular basis to keep in touch with your AUP fellow students, colleagues, faculty and staff.

Why do I have to reset my password every three months?
