Policy 940.00

Policy Statement

Email is the University of Vermont Larner College of Medicine's (LCOM) official means of communication. Students are expected to check their LCOM (MED domain; @med.uvm.edu) e-mail accounts daily and maintain the account so that it remains functional (e.g., not allowing their mailboxes to exceed the quota, not  forwarding it to a third party account, etc.). Students who do not read official notices sent in email are not excused from responsibility for email contents.
