<p>I thought that 72 hrs. after paying the deposit, we would be able to activate our .virginia emails. I have started my uva e-mail address and even have my e-mail address but it has not been activated because the links for “gmail” and “live” e-mails don’t work. is anyone else having this same issue? is there a way to activate it?</p>
<p>It is beginning April 1 you may activate your e-mail as long as it has been 72 hours since paying your deposit. Is there a way to change your email address before the @ symbol. It automatically gave me my SIS log-in username and I don’t want that to be my e-mail account.</p>
<p>
Yes, we all have the ability to create an alias.</p>
<p>I activated mine, and I logged into @UVa to start all the housing/dining/etc. stuff, but I haven’t been able to do any of it. The email I got after registering for Orientation said that after I logged in the first time they would add me to a Summer Orientation 2009 group and then send an email to me prompting me to do all those things, so I guess it’s just waiting for me…
and there was another place on the @UVa website i think that said you had to wait one weekday after logging in the first time to start everything.</p>
<p>but sorry…i got off topic. um. I activated mine about 545-6pm Hawaii time (yesterday), so I think that’s about midnight April 1st, VA time, so idk why yours wouldn’t work :(</p>
