Alias Request—Email4Life

What is an alias email account?

An alias email is an alternate name for your Email4Life account. It’s similar to a nickname for your account.

For example, if your user account is jsmith on the GSB server, your email address is jsmith@chicagogsb.edu. You can request an email alias as john.smith@chicagogsb.edu and e-mail will be directed to jsmith@chicagogsb.edu. That is email sent to john.smith@chicagogsb.edu will show up in your jsmith@chicagogsb.edu account. Your log-in account doesn’t change. An email alias will only forward your Email4Life email to a Chicago GSB account.

Your alias must include your last name and can be a combination of your first, middle, and/or last names.

When I send an email, will my alias appear in the "From" field?

No. An alias simply provides another name for others to send you email. Your email account does not change.
