Can I change my user name/email address?

  • Your University username/email address is generated automatically from the Staff and Student Records system and is associated with your staff or student reference number and user status
  • Information on how username/email addresses are allocated at Aberystwyth University can be found on this FAQ: How are Aber email addressess allocated?
  • Once allocated, usernames are propagated throughout all systems at Aberystwyth University and are not changed except in very rare circumstances. If you feel that there are extenuating circumstances which necessitate a change in your username you can contact Information Services for advice.
  • It is possible for staff to have a 'real name' alias for their email address ( How to set a real name alias for my email? )
