Marquette University utilizes email as one of the official means of communication with students to keep them informed of important information such as financial aid and billing data; college deadlines, events and updates; and important campus news. Each student is issued an official Marquette email account for use while he or she is enrolled.
Policy
E-mail is an appropriate and preferred method for official communication by Marquette with students unless otherwise prohibited by law. The university has the right to send official communication to students by email with the assumption that students will receive, read and, if necessary, act in a timely manner based upon these emails.
Assignment of student email accounts
Upon application to Marquette, a university email account is automatically created for each prospective student in the form of firstname.lastname@marquette.edu or as otherwise determined by IT Services. Official email accounts are maintained by IT Services and will be published online and in the student directory. This email address remains with the student throughout their academic career at Marquette.
Use of student email accounts
It is the responsibility of students to access and maintain these accounts in accordance with other university electronic communication policies including, but not limited to, the Acceptable Use Policy.
Students are expected to check their email on a frequent and consistent basis. Students must make sure that there is sufficient space in their accounts to allow for email to be delivered and have the responsibility to recognize that certain emails may be time sensitive. Students will not be held responsible for an interruption in their ability to access a message because of system problems that prevent timely delivery of, or access to, messages. These include scheduled and unscheduled outages of the system.

Forwarding of E-mail
Students who choose to have their email forwarded to an unofficial email address do so at their own risk. Marquette University is not responsible for any email beyond delivery to Marquette email accounts. Students are still responsible for official email as outlined above.
