How to Create and Modify an E-mail Alias

Faculty and staff can create and manage an e-mail alias. This alias does not replace the SacLink username; it simply personalizes the e-mail address based on the individual's name. The alias allows the faculty or staff member to have an e-mail address in the form 'alias@csus.edu'.

For example, if John Smith's SacLink username is js01, the default e-mail address would be js01@saclink.csus.edu.
