Official use
Your Unity address is your official campus address and the only one the University will use to send you official e-mail communication. However, you can use OIT's e-mail forwarding service if you prefer to receive such e-mail at a different address.

Format
Your Unity e-mail address is a continuous string of characters with no blank spaces. You can use either of these two formats:

unityid@unity.ncsu.edu
unityid@ncsu.edu

where unityid is your Unity ID. For example,

jddoe@unity.ncsu.edu
jddoe@ncsu.edu

Privacy
Your campus e-mail address is public information, but if you are a student you can delete it from the NC State campus directory for privacy reasons if you wish. Here's how:

1. Go to the Mypack Portal.
2. Select Student Self Service.
3. Select Campus Personal Information.
4. Select E-mail Addresses and update as desired.

Contacts
If you know someone's Unity ID, then you can send them an e-mail using either of the above formats. Otherwise, you could look them up in the Campus Directory or contact them directly and ask for their address.
