Some students have experienced difficulty in communicating with faculty through email. In an effort to help students successfully communicate, we have provided the following statement: The statement below explains to students that replying to faculty should be done from within their ECU email Outlook 365 account. Using any other email account to *reply to a faculty member will not reach the faculty member.
