At this time of year, when a lot of information about registration, course evaluations, exams, Exam4, graduation, etc., is distributed by e-mail, it is extremely important that students check their UofL e-mail accounts frequently.

In addition, some students have both CardMail and Exchange accounts.  Students with Exchange accounts include those enrolled in Clinic, student organization officers, or any student who is or has been in the University's payroll system.  If you think you may have an Exchange account, try logging in to exchange.louisville.edu with your ULink credentials.  If you can log in, you have an Exchange account; and it's very likely that you will find there e-mail that had otherwise been "missing."

Under the provisions of the Student Handbook, students are charged with knowledge of all official communications sent to their University e-mail accounts.
