Additional Information
Standards
E-mail Address Directory: The E-mail Address Directory is retained as a part of the Person Registry which maintains the official e-mail address for an individual or group. The Person Registry is generated and maintained by Information Systems and Technology and contains information about employees and students that is obtained from the appropriate institutional enterprise application. The Person Registry also can include information on external affiliates that have other types of relationships with the university.
Georgia State-Provided E-mail Address Assignment: A Georgia State University CampusID is assigned to each employee and student; the standard format is "first initial + last name" with a numeric digit, if needed to make the CampusID unique. The official Georgia State email address for employees is composed of this unique identifier followed by "@gsu.edu". The official Georgia State e-mail address for students is composed of this unique identifier followed by "@student.gsu.edu." For example, faculty member John Doe´s CampusID might be jdoe02 and his official e-mail address would be jdoe02@gsu.edu. Student Mary Smith´s CampusID might be msmith25 and her official e-mail address would be msmith25@student.gsu.edu.
Activation and management of the Official Georgia State E-mail Address: Students should follow the procedures detailed at http://www.student.gsu.edu/network/email.html to activate and manage their email addresses.
