Auto-forwarding your Office 365 email to another address
University policy is that all office communications are sent to your Office 365 mailbox, so you should monitor it regularly. If you would rather not directly log into the Office 365 mailbox regularly, then instructions are provided for auto-forwarding your email ** to an alternative address you may monitor more often.
** Please note that PHD students are not permitted to auto-forward email. Please confirm this policy with the Doctoral College, if required.
