Why do I have two emails associated with my account?

Every user at UMBC is assigned two email addresses. One is in the format of campusID@umbc.edu and the other is in the format of username@umbc.edu.

Different services may use one address or the other depending on their system requirements. As a result, you may see your email displayed in one format vs the other. Blackboard for example uses the campusID@umbc.edu format.

Mail sent to both of these addresses deliver to the same Gmail account, and seeing one displayed versus the other is normal and should not cause any issues.
