WebCampus transition to official University email addresses
Beginning December 21, 2026, WebCampus will use only your official University of Nevada, Reno email address for email notifications and communication.
Any personal email addresses, such as Gmail or Yahoo addresses, associated with your WebCampus account will be removed and can no longer be added.
What is changing?
Starting December 21:
- University Email Only: WebCampus will route all notifications and emails to your university inbox.
- Removal of Personal Emails: All personal email addresses will be removed from accounts and cannot be re-added.
- Unaffected Features: Your login, courses, grades, course content, and WebCampus Inbox remain completely unaffected.
Why is UNR making this change?
Removing personal email addresses reduces the amount of personal information stored in WebCampus. This helps limit the personal information that could potentially be exposed if the system were ever affected by a data breach.
What do I need to do?
For most users, very little action is required.
Before December 21, 2026:
- Verify Access: Ensure you can sign in to your official university email account.
- Check Inbox Regularly: Start monitoring your official university email inbox if you do not already.
- Expect Rerouted Notifications: If you currently receive notifications at a personal address, prepare for them to switch to your university email.
Update Preferences: Review your WebCampus notification preferences if you want to adjust frequency or types of alerts.
What does this mean for students?
- All WebCampus notifications, course announcements, and instructor messages will strictly be sent to your official university email.
- Check your university email regularly so you do not miss critical course updates.
What does this mean for instructors?
- Course Communications: Email notifications generated by announcements or messages will go directly to students' university email addresses.
- Syllabus Updates: If your syllabus directs students to monitor a personal email account, please update this language for upcoming terms.
- Third-Party Integration: Integrated tools relying on email identifiers will receive official university addresses instead of personal ones. If you have concerns about third party tool integration, please reach out to Teaching & Learning Technologies at tlt@unr.edu.
