Communication

College E-mail Policy

The College of Medicine continuously seeks ways to improve the lines of communication between the various offices/departments and medical students. Upon acceptance to the College of Medicine  , each student is assigned an email account which enables the College to send official electronic correspondence. The official method of communication between students and their respective departments, programs or the dean’s office is through the UTHSC email system. Students must check their email at least once each day to avoid missing vital information. The format of an official University email address is: NETID@uthsc.edu. Students can forward email from their official University email account to any external email account. Please note, however, that if a student elects to forward email and that process fails, the student will still be responsible for reading and responding to any official information sent to their official University email account. Failure to comply or to respond to an email request from the Administration may result in a referral to the Professionalism Committee.
