Each department will now consider Email sent to your GroupWise (@tiu.edu) account a mechanism for official communication within Trinity Law School. For instance, your student bills will now be e-mailed on a monthly basis to your GroupWise accounts rather than in the mail. The Law School expects that such communications will be received and read in a timely fashion. Official email communications are intended only to meet the academic and administrative needs of the campus community. As steward of this process, the Office of the Registrar is responsible for directing the use of the official student email. If a student redirects their official @tiu.edu address to another email address (e.g., @aol.com, @hotmail.com), they may do so, but at their own risk. However student correspondence sent to Trinity Law School MUST be sent by your @tiu.edu address.
