Special Processing

  • If you are an incoming employee, a retired employee in good standing, or an appointed UM Consultant/Vendor; please complete the SPECIAL PROCESSING FORM, so that an exchange mail address can be created for you.

  • If you are an existing employee, please register your e-mail address or make changes to your preferred or e-mail alias address via the MYUM system.

Types of Email Addresses

There are two types of e-mail addresses, the preferred e-mail address and the e-mail address alias. The preferred email address is assigned when a person requests a University E-mail Mailbox, for example 'name@Exchange.ir.miami.edu. An existing e-mail address may also be used as the preferred e-mail. For example: Mary@hotmail.com, Joe@aol.com, etc.

 

The E-mail alias is a shortened version of the preferred e-mail address - the general format is 'name@miami.edu.' The preferred e-mail address may change over time as old e-mail systems are replaced or a person changes jobs within the University. An e-mail alias will allow your received e-mails to go to the correct mailbox regardless of the changes that have been made to your preferred e-mail address. An e-mail alias will only be changed at your request. Your e-mail alias address will be the one published and show up in the UM GAL.
