Marshall University identifies your @marshall.edu email as the “official communication channel.” No blanket forwarding of university email to off-campus accounts is permitted.  We all have off-site addresses, but we don’t publish those, and we should all be using our official college accounts for official business.

This will only affect people who have set up automatic forwarding of all messages from an @marshall.edu address to a non- @marshall.edu address.

Why is this happening?

This change is being made for a couple of security reasons:

  • To facilitate the remediation of future malicious email-based attacks (e.g. phishing)
  • Automated forwarding allowed users to use their email with expired credentials

Are there any exceptions?

Unfortunately there are currently no plans to allow automated forwarding of emails for any reason. This decision was made for all of the Marshall University community for security reasons and is crucial for continuing protection of Marshall personnel, students and information.

How can I easily receive emails after this change?

We know this change could negatively affect one’s email workflow, but after learning information in the following articles one should quickly regain functionality of their emails:

  • You can still access Marshall email via Outlook online
  • You could also set up Marshall email directly on your mobile device, to ensure you don’t miss any emails
  • Add your personal email to your Outlook client on your desktop;  Here is a video showing to how you can setup a ‘consolidated inbox view’ using common e-mail clients/services .  This can also be done on mobile devices as well.

Coverage areas are identified on the map as either full, partial, or no coverage. Your specific experience will depend on your device as well as other variable factors.

Download and review the Marshall University Wireless Map to easily determine which areas of campus have wireless coverage.

Installation for anti-virus will vary based on your device configuration.

To begin using the VPN service you will need to obtain the Palo Alto Global Protect VPN client for your operating system and have a valid MUNet account. For information on obtaining a MUNet account or if you have trouble obtaining the client contact the IT Service Desk at 304-696-3200 or itservicedesk@marshall.edu
