CSUMB University Communications Get Started on the Right Track | Page 5

Student email notification policy
Electronic mail is the primary and official means of communication from California State University, Monterey Bay
to students. Once a student receives a CSUMB email account, official communication from the university shall be
directed to that account.

Email is CSUMB’s Official Communication
Official communication contains information in order to conduct business with CSU Monterey Bay and for which
every student will be held accountable. Students are expected to read communications in a timely fashion because
communications often are time-sensitive.
Examples of official communication can include, but are not limited to:
• Academic Advising and Registration Alerts
• Career Development events
• Student records (including Admissions/Financial Aid/Advising/Registrar)
• Academic program/completion of degree sought
• Dean and faculty communication to students
• Financial information (including balance due, payment deadline reminders)
All use of email will be consistent with local, state, and federal law, as well as other university policies, including
the Acceptable Use of Computing and Technology Resources Policy and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy
Act.
Student email accounts shall remain active so long as the student is enrolled at CSU Monterey Bay or is on an
approved leave of absence.

If you need clarification or have questions about this policy, please contact the Campus Service Center.
