What are the guidelines for creating an email alias?

Email Aliases are only available to faculty and staff, not students.
  1. Your email alias should be professional and represent your name
  2. Choose your email alias carefully - once an alias is set, it cannot be changed
  3. An email alias must:
         a. Be longer than 8 characters or contain a dot (.)
         b. Any letters must be lowercase
  4. You will be presented with some email alias suggestions like:
         a. firstname.lastname@uncc.edu
         b. lastname.firstname@uncc.edu
         c. firstinitial.lastname@uncc.edu
         d. firstname.lastinitial@uncc.edu
         e. lastname@uncc.edu (if last name is greater than 8 letters)
  5. If there are no suggestions, you can try including your middle initial
         a. firstname.middleinitial.lastname@uncc.edu
         b. firstinitial.middleinitial.lastname@uncc.edu
