university recommends checking email daily. Students are responsible for the consequences of not reading, in a timely

students have access to this important form of communication. It ensures students can be reached through a standardized
channel by faculty and other staff of the university as needed. Mail sent to the VCU email address may include

notification of university-related actions, including disciplinary action. Please read the policy in its entirety at the VCU
Policy Library under the Education and Student Life tab.
