All students are provided
with a Gatorlink email account (@ufl.edu). The Gatorlink
account will be your ONLY official University e-mail
address. Your Gatorlink email account (@ufl.edu)
is used by the Office of Student Affairs for the
“all law listserve”
and “student-activities listserve”.
These listserves are used
to inform students about administrative and campus
wide issues. The only e-mail address that will be
added to the listserve is your Gatorlink email account
(ufl.edu). DO NOT forward your Gatorlink (ufl.edu)
emails to other personal accounts, as this may result
in losing messages or responses to your inquiries.
Students must not forward emails and instead regularly
check their Gatorlink email account (ufl.edu) account.
You can also sign up for
a Gatorlink e-mail account by clicking on Gatorlink
Creation: https://login.Gatorlink.ufl.edu/~am/create/.
For more information about the service, you can
call 392-LINK, 392-HELP or visit the UF Computing
Help Desk at CSE E520. If you have any problems
receiving e-mails from the “all law
listserve” and “student-activities
listserve”, please contact the Office
of Student Affairs.
Note:
Problems with AOL and other commercial servers Every
time UF (or the Law School) sends a broadcast message
to its students, AOL receives hundreds of messages
in a matter of seconds. This has the effect of AO
L blocking U F (or a specific UF email server) from
receiving any further e-mail from the 'offending'
server for about 48 hours. In turn, it appears to
end users at both ends (e-mail senders and receivers)
as intermittent service. We regret this has happened
because this has caused some students not to get
some important information in a tim ely way, but
this is completely out of our control. Many universities
and colleges are affected by these commercial servers
i.e., AOL, Yahoo. Hotmail, MSN, email problems,
not just UF, so please only use the Gatorlink account.
