Change Default Primary Email Address to hennepintech.edu

Article Type: How To

Question:

• How do I change my default "Primary" email to hennepintech.edu?

Answer:

• If your primary email is already set to @hennepintech.edu (employees) or @my.hennepintech.edu (students) you do not need to do anything.
• Only one email address can be selected as a primary email address and default institution. This is the email that will show as your 'From' address.
• All email addresses assigned to you at any other Minnesota State institutions are assigned to this email account and will be delivered to one mailbox. However, your Hennepin Tech email will need to be selected as your 'Primary' email address to become the default email address displayed on all email you send.
