Importance of your email address
At the University of Wisconsin–Madison there is an increasing need for fast and efficient communication with new student applicants to conduct official business at the university. University Residence Halls staff members communicate extensively through e-mail with students during the admissions process, as well as after students are enrolled and living on campus.
- All e-mails sent from University Residence Halls staff will have @housing.wisc.edu as the domain name.
- You need to have a valid e-mail address on file that you check regularly.
- To change your e-mail address on file with the university, log into your “My UW.”
- Be sure your e-mail account allows messages from University Housing to reach you; check your junk mail as well—just in case.
- Put meaningful information in your subject line like “my housing contract” or “my room assignment” when you e-mail us at: AssignMe@housing.wisc.edu.
- The Office of the Registrar has additional information about student e-mail accounts and how the university uses e-mail.
