What is my UT student email address?Your EID at my.utexas.edu.
By default it’s your UT EID followed by @my.utexas.edu. It’s your official student email, so UT sends official messages there.
A Microsoft 365 account can also have extra addresses called aliases, but UT doesn’t post a student alias format. Ask the UT Service Desk.
How do I sign in to UT student email?Outlook on the web, with your EID.
Go to office365.austin.utexas.edu and sign in with [email protected] or [email protected], plus your EID password. UT requires students to set up the account and check it regularly.
On campus, use the utexas Wi-Fi. Microsoft 365 is blocked on utguest. If you have no account, sign in at austin.utexas.edu/Office365Management and choose Create Account.
Do I keep my UT student email after graduating?No. Access ends after the 12th class day.
Once you’re a former student, you lose your Microsoft 365 email, calendar, and OneDrive files. UT checks on the 12th class day of the next long semester, so a spring graduate typically loses access on the 12th class day of fall.
The account is deleted after a waiting period, and UT doesn’t post how long it is. Export anything you want to keep first, and ask the Service Desk if you need the length.
Can I forward my UT student email?Yes, in Outlook on the web.
In Outlook on the web, choose Settings, Mail, then Forwarding. Select Enable forwarding, enter the address, and save. Check Keep a copy of forwarded messages if you want mail in both places.
Student workers can’t forward university business email to a personal account, including UTmail. Use a shared mailbox from your supervisor instead.
Who do I contact about UT email problems?The ITS Service Desk.
Call 512-475-9400 or email [email protected].
