What email address should I use for my club?

Each club can set-up a UP club email alias to communicate with constituencies outside of the university. The club email alias will be linked to a designated club officers’ personal UP email account. Emails can be sent to the email alias chosen, but emails cannot be sent from the alias.

For example, the Chess Club may choose an email alias such as chessclub@up.edu, and have the alias attached to the club president’s personal email account. When someone wants to send an email to the Chess Club they can send an email to chessclub@up.edu, and the email will be sent directly to the club president’s personal email account. However, when the club president responds to that email the email name will be the personal name of the club president, and not the club email alias name.

Please note this is not an individual email account for the club. The club officer the email alias is linked to will have to be changed every year or whenever the designated club officer receiving the email changes.

The university does not recognize independent external club email addresses (ie. Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail) as official club communication.

To set-up a club email alias, please contact the UP Help Desk.
