AutoForwarding Email from AA Via AA Online Directory

The University of Michigan On-Line Directory is an electronic addressbook for the University of Michigan which includes the Dearborn and Flint Campuses. By including email forwarding in UMOD, users can shorten their email addresses to @umich.edu.

We ask that people change their own entries because e-mail or phone requests do not allow us to confirm the identity of the person making the request. We do not want to misdirect someone's mail or calls by accepting a fraudulent request.

To modify a UMOD entry, the user must first be authenticated with their uniqname and Kerberos (umich) password. Dearborn campus users who do not remember their Kerberos passwords must contact the ITS Accounts Office. Kerberos passwords cannot be changed via email or phone requests. For users who cannot contact the ITS Accounts Office in person during normal business hours, a 24 Hour Password Change Request procedure is available in the Computer Wing Lab anytime the lab is open.

The easiest way to update your entry is to use the web interface. First, authenticate to the University of Michigan's Login service screen at https://weblogin.umich.edu

Use your uniqname and Kerberos password. One authenticated, click on directroy.umich.edu

You should be automatically bound to the directory for making changes. Enter your uniqname in the search box and click search. When your entry appears, click on the bolded Modify button. There are several items that can be modified.

To use @umich.edu as your email address, you must include an E-Mail Forwarding Address. You can enter any valid email address or addresses.

Be sure to click the "Save Changes" button when you are finished changing the fields you want to change .

Approximately once a month, the University's Online Directory is updated from its official records. If your telephone number or address information is incorrect in those records, your entry will be changed and may have incorrect information again. You should submit a Change of Address form through the Registrar's office, if you are student, or through your department, if you are a faculty or staff member, to correct the University's records. Users can now update personal information by using Wolverine Access which can be access from the homepage quick links at www.umich.edu.

Unless you've made special arrangements, as described below, your telephone number and address information will be re-added to your entry during that regular update.

You can ask that your address information not be published. Faculty and staff members need to check the "do not publish" block on the change of address every time they submit one. Students must make the request of the Registrar, in writing, every term they are registered.

You can also use the "do not update" field of your entry to prevent the address information in your entry being updated from the University's official records. If you have removed your address, the regular update will re-add it, UNLESS you mark your entry to not be updated.

For people who are being stalked, we can set up an entry that contains only their uniqname and e-mail address. We've recently started getting information from the Registrar that allows us to set up these entries automatically for students who have told the Registrar that they do not want their 'directory' information published.
