Please monitor the email address listed for you in the UNC on-line directory

EPID600 uses the address for you in the University Online Directory (http://directory.unc.edu) as the primary means of contacting you. This address is automatically copied to Blackboard and Sakai every 24 hours or so. When anyone sends you an email through Blackboard or Sakai, these programs will generally use the address listed in the UNC Directory and in the official class roll.

EPID600 and your spam filter

Don’ let an overzealous spam filter come between you and the course. Program your spam filter to accept all messages that have EPID600 in the subject line and include EPID600 in the subject line of all your emails related to the course. When the spammers eventually discover this practice, we’ll request a new course number again!

If you use or switch to a challenge-response spam blocker, be sure to allow an exception for emails from the instructors and from the return address on confirmation emails from webform submissions (I do not list that address here to reduce its vulnerability to being spammed).

Providing a post-EPID600 address to Vic

If you would like to provide a permanent or alternate email address to Vic, you may do so on the request form. However, we do not yet have the capability to use these addresses for computer-generated correspondence, and UNC policy calls for all emails to students to be sent to unc.edu addresses.

Nota bene

We will assume that an email sent to an email address that was listed for you in the UNC Directory or in Blackboard/Sakais has been received by you.
