Email Assignment

About Email Assignment

Applicants typically have user accounts automatically created upon either acceptance or deposit. The email associated with this individual will be the email entered on the application.

Institutions may wish for Campus Cafe to automatically assign an institution-issued email to the individual upon creation of their Campus Cafe username and password. If this option is turned on, the system will assign an email address using the user's username followed by domain (e.g. yourschool.edu).
