Access Your UFV Email Anywhere—Securely and Conveniently
Starting September 1, UFV will no longer support auto-forwarding of university emails to third-party email providers for students. This change is part of ongoing efforts to strengthen data security and ensure that university communications remain protected within UFV’s systems.
To continue accessing your UFV student email on your personal devices, we recommend adding your UFV student account directly to your preferred email app. Most modern email apps support this setup, allowing you to manage your UFV messages without relying on forwarding.
Why add your UFV email as its own account?
Convenience – Access your UFV email from any device using the mail app you already use.
Organization – Keep your UFV and personal emails separate but easily accessible in one place.
Security – Your UFV email remains protected by UFV’s security systems, even after messages are delivered.
How to set it up:
Most email apps support adding an Exchange Online or Office 365 account. Look for this option in your app’s settings. For step-by-step instructions, visit: Add UFV email to popular mail apps.
Why auto-forwarding is being phased out:
Auto-forwarding sends your UFV emails to external systems that UFV cannot secure or monitor. This poses risks to the confidentiality and integrity of university communications. By adding your UFV account directly to your email app, your messages remain within UFV’s secure environment while still giving you convenient access.
If you currently use auto-forwarding, please make the switch before September 1st, 2025 to ensure uninterrupted access to your UFV email.
