New E-mail System for Students!

UT Arlington has negotiated with Microsoft to host student e-mail, providing all UT Arlington students with a 5Gb mailbox size ­ 125 times the previous allocation. Even better, students can keep the new e-mail address for life! MyMav has been updated with the new e-mail address and the campus e-mail system will be updated with new e-mail addresses in the near future. See www.uta.edu/email for more information.
