The student University email account (@midwestern.edu) is the only electronic mailing address recognized by the University. Official, "in writing" college and campus-wide communications are sent to students over University email and all students are required to check their University email account daily. Students are responsible for information that is transmitted through this electronic medium. The University and its employees are not responsible for forwarding email to students at personal email accounts that are not held by the University. Information included in student emails should follow the guidelines of appropriate professional conduct.
Students are not permitted to send class/program/college/campus-wide emails without the prior approval of the student’s respective Academic Dean, the Dean of Students or the Associate Dean of Students.
A student's University email account (@midwestern.edu) is the property of Midwestern University and is to be solely administered by University Information Technology Services. Students are prohibited from conducting business transactions other than official business for recognized Student Organizations on University email. A student is prohibited from contracting with third party software companies that require any type of intervention on the part of other students, staff, faculty or administration when attempting to freely email that student's University email account. University Information Technology Services, through the discretion of the Deans, has the sole authority when limiting or preventing access to a student's email account. Because a student’s University email account (@midwestern.edu) is the property of Midwestern University, there should be no expectation of privacy regarding communications sent by students utilizing an @midwestern.edu email account.
Failure to abide by this policy and any other computer code of conduct violation may result in disciplinary action.
