Online Services - E-mail Forwarding
Alumni have two ways to maintain a Cedarville University e-mail address:
- E-mail Forwarding
- E-mail for Life (EFL)
E-mail forwarding is a method for having e-mail that is sent to your Cedarville address automatically forwarded to an address that you specify. Details are given below.
E-mail for Life (EFL) is an actual e-mail service where the e-mail is placed on a server at Cedarville and can be accessed from any web browser. For more information on EFL, click here.
E-mail Forwarding
All alumni can now have e-mail forwarding from a Cedarville account for life. Use this function to forward e-mail to your personal or work e-mail address. Your Cedarville address that you will hand out to others will be something like
- JoeBrown@alumni.cedarville.edu
- jbrown123@alumni.cedarville.edu
- p3412345@alumni.cedarville.edu
depending on whether you have changed your CedarNet login user name or setup an e-mail alias. Once you reserved your user name or e-mail alias, it will be yours for life. If you change your ISP (internet service provider) or you want the forwarding to be switched to a different e-mail address, you can modify the forwarding address at anytime. Note that the last portion of the e-mail address can be either "alumni.cedarville.edu" or "cedarville.edu".
