Email Policy

Fairmont State provides an email address ending in “@students.fairmontstate.edu” to all students. It is university policy that a Fairmont State email address (your.address@students.fairmontstate.edu) be the official channel of email communication. Delivery to this address will be verified upon initial setup and if there are any changes made to your email delivery choices.

The Fairmont State e-mail address assigned to a student will serve as the official email address used by the institution for all correspondence including invoices, financial aid notifications, and information from the Student Services Center. Students are responsible for all information sent from these and other official offices of the institution. Failure to read e-mail messages will not constitute an exception. The Admissions Office will send an official admission letter informing students of their email account and Unified College Account (UCA) and how to activate the UCA. The Admissions Office will also notify students of our institution’s policies regarding the use of Fairmont State email for all major institutional correspondence. No other email addresses will be included when emails are sent. Other email addresses may be provided by completing the Email Billing Form in the Office of Student Services. Invoices will be sent to those addresses in addition to the student.
