Electronic Communications Policy

The 黑料不打烊 uses and will use electronic communication with its students and applicants in lieu of many paper-based processes. "Electronic communication" includes anything that is created, recorded, transmitted or stored in digital form or in any other intangible form by electronic, magnetic or optical means or by any equivalent means. Currently, this most often includes information communicated by email and via a website.

Electronic communication will be subject to the same policies on information disclosure as other methods of communication (see Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy section - link to FOIPP Page). The laws of 黑料不打烊 will apply to all electronic transactions and communications involving the 黑料不打烊.

Key Points Regarding Electronic Communications

  • All students and applicants are assigned a 黑料不打烊 Campus Computing ID (CCID) with email privileges. The CCID@ualberta.ca email address originally assigned by the University is the email address to which communications will be sent.
  • Check your email at least once a week.
  • See the Information Services and Technology (IST) website for detailed information on CCIDs, conditions of use and related privileges.
  • You must advise IST immediately of any problems encountered with university email accounts by contacting the .
  • We recommend that you do not forward your University directed e-mail to other non-University email addresses (such as those provided by Hotmail, Yahoo, Shaw, TELUS, etc.). You could miss important communications that may affect your university career.
  • Failure to receive or read University communications sent to the University email address in a timely manner does not absolve students and applicants from knowing, responding to or complying with the content of that communication.
