Change your Default UW Email Address
This is how to specify a default UW email address.
The following procedure will change the email address that is your default UW address. Example: fermat@math.wisc.edu instead of fermat@wisc.edu. Be aware that changing this address will change what email is listed as your reply-to in any email communications through the UW.
- Go to https://profile.wisc.edu
- Login with your NetID.
- Click into Contact Information
- Choose which email address you want to use as your primary business email address. Please be aware that using a non-UW email address (such as a gmail account) for your primary email can cause issues in logging into Overleaf or Gradescope.
You may want to change your default account for sending email as well.
- Go to https://email.wisc.edu/admin
- Click My Account
- Click Office 365
- Click Email Addresses
- Choose an email address to act as your primary address.
