Questions Regarding Student Use of Personal Email

["Cap, Brianne" <Brianne.Cap () DEVRY EDU>]

We are reviewing our email policies and currently allow our students to use their personal email addresses when 
conducting school business. Having attended both a traditional university and online university myself, I can see the 
pros and cons of both a university-issued email and allowing the use of personal emails. I am trying to understand what 
best practice is before making a recommendation to my CIO.

My questions are as follows:


-        Does your university allow students to use their personal email addresses when communicating with the 
organization?

-        How long do you keep alumni accounts active?

-        How about email accounts belonging to Visiting Professors?

Thank you in advance for your insight.
