Your University e-mail account is considered an official means of communication. Students and employees are responsible for responding to any messages sent to that address, so you should check yours regularly. Employees are also responsible for using the calendar services associated with University email.
You will be able to use your University e-mail and calendar as long as you are associated with the university.
