Request & Manage Your UVa Email Account

After creating your account in Step 1, then continue to Step 2 to use the UVa Email Address Management System to create and manage your email aliases, change where you read your University email, etc.
(Step 1 of 2) Request a UVa Email Account
Students & Alumni:
UVa Gmail with Google Apps
In addition to email and calendar, Gmail with Google Apps includes tools for online communication, collaboration, and publishing.
Faculty & Staff:
While ITS recommends choosing between Exchange and the Central Mail Service, you may opt to have accounts on both. But then you will have to read email in 2 places.
UVa Exchange Service
The UVa Centralized Exchange Service (accessible through an email program on your computer or Outlook Web App from anywhere) integrates UVa’s centralized calendar with email, mobile devices, and SharePoint.
UVa Central Mail Service (CMS)
The Central Mail Service (accessible through an email program on your computer or CMS WebMail from anywhere), provides basic email without a calendar.
UVa Gmail accounts are primarily offered to UVa students and alumni. However, accounts are also available to faculty and staff who provide technical support to students.
UVa Exchange Service is not offered to alumni, and is available to students only in special situations. CMS accounts are not available for students or alumni. UVa Exchange Service requires an Eservices Exchange account.
(Step 2 of 2) Manage Your UVa Email Address(es)
Once you’ve requested your new email account, you can use the UVa Email Address Management System (AMS) to manage your UVa email address:
- request a UVa email alias, and
- create your primary UVa email address for the first time, and/or
- change where you read your University email.
