Section 4 - Email Policy

Email will be the primary course of communication between the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Athletic Training Program (UNL ATP) and students. The email address students use to access UNL resources (i.e., Canvas) will serve as the official and only email account used by the UNL ATP for communication with students.

It is expected that students will check their email daily (including during summer and UNL-sponsored breaks/holidays) for UNL ATP-related information and keep their email inbox cleaned out so messages can be received. Failure to check email or missing messages due to a full inbox is not an acceptable excuse for missing UNL ATP communications.

When using email for communication, students should follow proper email etiquette procedures. Examples of proper email etiquette include, but are not limited to:

  1. Providing a proper and professional greeting at the beginning of the email.
  2. Avoiding the use of first names unless the person has requested to be addressed with his or her first name.
  3. Avoiding slang, improper grammar, or text language.
  4. Providing a signature at the conclusion of the email to identify the sender.
