Revised Policy on the Use of Electronic Mail

Posted Wednesday, June 26, 2024


The revised Policy on the Use of Electronic Mail can be found in your emails and on the intranet.

This revised document replaces The Electronic Mail & Messaging Services Policy (2008) and provides detailed guidelines for utilising our University email systems.

The new policy covers several critical areas, including:

-      Acceptable use: When and how you can use your UWI email for business and personal reasons.

-      Responsibilities: Your rights and obligations as an email user within The UWI community.

-      Content creation: Best practices for crafting professional and appropriate email messages.

-      Security and penalties: Measures in place to protect the University and its members, along with potential consequences for misuse of the email system.

By following these guidelines, secure, responsible, and professional communication across The UWI community may be ensured.
