We will occasionally need to send email messages to the whole class, or to students individually. Email will be sent to your GAUL email address. You must make sure that you read your email on GAUL on a frequent and regular basis (at least every 3 days), or have it forwarded to an alternative email address if you prefer to read it there.
However, you should note that email at ITS (your UWO account) and other email providers such as hotmail.com or yahoo.com may have quotas or limits on the amount of space you can use. If you let your email accumulate there, your mailbox may fill up and you may lose important email from your instructors. Losing email that you have forwarded to an alternative email address is not an excuse for not knowing about the information that was sent.
Email sent from hotmail or other non-UWO accounts, regarding important course details, will be ignored unless you cc your UWO account in the message.
