Students

Students access their University email address and information about the University email address via WebSTAC

  1. Click on the menu item New University email System.
  2. To modify the assigned University email address, click on the menu item Modify Your University email Address. Note: you are not required to make any modification

Some Important notes:

  • Within WebSTAC, students also have the opportunity to select a nickname. If you select a nickname, it will appear among the system generated name configurations that one may select from to change the assigned University email name.
  • Just like faculty and staff, students will have only one opportunity to change the assigned name, so they should select carefully.
  • The University email address will appear in the Web-based directory and the TERNION; the local email address will appear in WebSTAC and WebFAC.
  • Your @wustl.edu address will not be active until several hours after you change it. If the new @wustl.edu address does not work after 4 hours, please email us.

Change your mail client to show your new @wustl.edu address as the return address on your outgoing email
