Email Forwarding
Washington University’s email forwarding service redirects all messages sent to your @wustl.edu email address to the email address of your choice.
Your @wustl.edu account is active for life; however, if you would like an @wustl.edu address, you will need to set up email forwarding.

I currently use multiple email addresses. Will my email forwarding account allow me to forward emails to all of them or just to one?
Email forwarding requires you to choose one address for all your forwarded email.

Will Washington University provide my Internet access and email after I sign up for alumni email forwarding?
No. Alumni email forwarding works as a link to your existing Internet Service Provider (ISP). You will not be able to log onto your email account via a Washington University website or server.

Will I be able to send emails from my Washington University email?
After you set up a forwarding email address, you will continue to send email via your existing ISP, and your true sending address will appear on the "From" line of your outgoing message. However, many email programs allow you to set the default "Reply" address on your messages to something other than the sending address. By setting your default "Reply" address to your Washington University email address, responses from your correspondents will be sent to your alumni email forwarding address and redirected to your inbox.
