Concordia University has updated its email policy to require that students use their university email for official correspondence starting this Fall. Newly-admitted students will receive a Concordia email address upon course registration, which will be used for all communication with the university. Concordia says the changes bring the university in line with approaches used by other universities and provides enhanced security and privacy. “Keeping university communications within this environment allows us to better protect sensitive information and significantly reduce risks such as phishing, unauthorized access and data loss — which are far more difficult to manage when personal email accounts are used,” explained Concordia Chief Information Security Officer Mike Popoff.
