UWF Gmail addresses are defaulted to a particular format. Some users may prefer that their email addresses look a little different. These users may choose to set up an alias for their active UWF Gmail accounts. These aliases will look slightly different from the default UWF Gmail address. |

Please know that your username will stay the same. So if you set up an email alias, you'll still have to use your default ArgoNet username to log in to services such as MyUWF, eLearning, and ArgoAir. Please visit Recovering Your MyUWF/ArgoNet Username or Password if you don't know your username. |
