Note to
current
students
Miami strongly recommends that you
not
forward your email to another account while you are a Miami student. Miami uses email as a method of transmitting official University communications and relies on students to check email regularly. By forwarding your email, you run the risk of blocked attachments, full mailboxes, and potential exposure of confidential data
