Question

How do I change my default "Primary" email to a different institution? 

Answer

If you are affiliated with multiple institutions, you will want to select one email address as your default or primary contact. This is the email that will show as your '"From" address when sending emails.

• If your contact primary email is already set to the address you prefer, you do not need to do anything.
• Only one email address can be selected as a primary email address and default institution.
