Summary
Your personal email is used for self-service password reset requests, as well as to deliver important information from UNLV to you. We recommend updating this to a non-UNLV email that you check regularly.
Body
It is important to keep a non-UNLV personal email on file. This email is used if you need to reset your password, and to deliver important information from UNLV to you.
If you are also a student, you must also update your
personal email in MyUNLV so the Registrar's office also has your contact information.
Changes to your email in Workday made before 11:59pm will be updated the next morning by 8am.
