Email Forwarding
OFFICIAL POLICY: Electronically Redirecting Email to Third Party Accounts
The Division of Medical Education strongly recommends that Medical Students maintain their @ucsd.edu email address for (at least) official school correspondence while enrolled at UCSD SOM.
However, if you choose to redirect your email to a third party account, you may do so, with the following stipulations:
- You will maintain your email storage below your third party vendor's quota so that important messages can be delivered without the problems associated with full mailboxes.
- If at any time you should choose to change your third party email account, you will immediately return to the My Info tab inside the MedEd Web Portal to update your Mail Delivery Settings.
- You will not use email or email attachments to communicate any patient-identifiable information that would be in violation of HIPAA.
- You realize that MedEd WebMail will not receive any of your email messages and EdCom is not responsible for (or can assist in troubleshooting) any failed email transmissions.
