Since email is an official method of receiving university and course communications, it is important that your email address on file with the university is kept up-to-date.

Students can set their Microsoft email account (eid@my.utexas.edu) as their official university email address:

1. Students go to Update of Addresses and Email (EID required) in UT Direct.
   
2. Locate the E-mail Address field at the bottom of the form, and type in your email address (e.g. eid@my.utexas.edu).
3. Click Save Changes.

Employees can update their email address in Workday.

Your updated email address will start receiving university email communications within one or two business days.
