Danger Ahead!

You are about to change your UNIX username. Changing your username may cause you a great deal of inconvenience and have the following consequences:

  • It will change your University of Delaware e-mail address. Therefore, e-mail addressed to your old username will be rejected by the central e-mail server and returned to the sender. And, in the future, if someone else takes your old username, the e-mail will be delivered to that individual instead of you.
  • The central e-mail server will not forward e-mail from your old address.
  • You must change your current e-mail client preferences to reflect your new username.
  • You are responsible for notifying your e-mail correspondents and list owners of your new address.
  • Before you change your username, you must unsubscribe from listservs using your old username and then resubscribe using your new username.

    • NOTE: WebCT students cannot change their username during the semester.
