Campus E-mail

Campus e-mail is the official communications channel of the university and is a principal medium through which it conducts its business. All students, faculty, and staff (including part-time faculty and part-time employees) have Piedmont University e-mail accounts and are expected to activate and monitor their accounts beginning the first week of enrollment or employment. All members of the college community are expected to regularly monitor their Piedmont University e-mail and manage business matters in a timely manner. Failure to activate and monitor one’s Piedmont University e-mail account does not exempt one from responsibility to act upon university-related matters.
