Earlier today I got an e-mail from the University of Toledo that started thusly:
Sean , this will be the last time we will communicate with you via your preferred e-mail address(es).
The e-mail went on to say that all e-mails pertaining to billing and financial aid and the like will now go to my UT e-mail account. It's not like I don't use my UT e-mail account, but I have to access it from a Webmail interface that I can only ever seem to get to work correctly on the campus computers. Previously UT let you specify an e-mail address to send such correspondence to, and I had them send it to my primary .org account, which is checked every ten minutes whenever I'm on my computer at home.
Given that UT is now stopping all snail-mail invoices and bill notices -- at the exact same time they're doing this big e-mail switch -- I guess this means I'll have to go over to UT to check my e-mail every once in a while. Since I'm not taking any classes this summer, this will also mean parking either at one of the metered parking slots, or in the pay lot.
Wonderful little racket they've got going there.
