    Change your email address (PGR students only)

    All standard ÌÇÐÄVlog email addresses look something like re16495@essex.ac.uk

    If you want something like firstname.surname@essex.ac.uk, you can choose a preferred email address.

    Email lists and groups

    Email (mailing) lists let you easily send email to multiple people. There are different types of mailing list and membership may depend on your role at the University or personal preference.

    If you occasionally need to send an email to a large group of people and no mailing list exists for that group of people, then you can use our Mailshot service to send an email to a temporary, ad-hoc mailing list, of up to 10,000 recipients including non-ÌÇÐÄVlog email addresses.

    Reporting suspicious emails

    Forward all suspicious emails to phishing@essex.ac.uk. Reporting suspicious emails means we can take action to prevent others from receiving it.
