A final reminder: Starting on Thursday, July 31, emails sent to umr.edu will not be delivered and umr.edu websites will not be redirected to the mst.edu web domain.
Here’s what students, faculty and staff need to do (if you haven’t already) to ensure a seamless transition after July 31:
- Update your umr.edu bookmarks and email contacts to mst.edu. A list of commonly accessed Missouri S&T links is available on the IT department’s name change resource site.
- Let your friends, family, alumni, potential employers, potential research grant sources and other academic partners know about these upcoming changes. They won’t be able to email you at umr.edu or open umr.edu web links after July 31.
We appreciate the patience of all students, alumni, faculty and staff during this process of renaming our institution. If you have questions about any of these issues or need further assistance, please call the IT Help Desk at 573-341-HELP or visit IT's name change resource site for access to sample notification letters to email contacts, list of frequently used links, IT name change timeline, etc.
I just found out today that the "permanent" email addresses msm.umr.edu have ceased to function. Since I don't regularly check the S&T website, I only found out about this when I discovered that I am not receiving my email.
This is a terrible inconvenience. I began using this email forwarding service several years ago. I have given this email address to so many places that I will have great difficulty in finding and changing all of them. The very reason that I started using the forwarding service was to avoid having to ever change my email address. Thanks a lot.
I completely agree with the previous poster, this name change has caused several weeks of important e-mail to disappear into the digital abyss. It would have been trivial to keep the old domain active for the alumni "permanent" e-mail forwarding service. What's more, I graduated from UMR, and I would rather that my address reflected that.
