The Information Technology Service Center (ITSC) provides an Email Alias service for Chiang Mai University students to support, facilitate, and accommodate academic publications at both national and international levels. The criteria, conditions, and procedures are as follows:
1. Definition & Service Features
An Email Alias is an alternative email address linked to your primary account and does not have its own mailbox (storage).
How it works: All incoming emails sent to the alias will be automatically forwarded to the student's primary CMU email (StudentID@cmu.ac.th). This allows students to manage all academic correspondence through a single account, improving system efficiency and conserving university storage resources.
2. Criteria & Conditions for Approval
Strict Purpose: The service is strictly reserved for academic publication purposes only.
Supporting Evidence: Applicants must be students whose academic programs explicitly mandate publication as a graduation requirement. Official supporting evidence must be provided.
System Access Requirements: Applicants must log in and submit requests using their CMU Account and must hold an active "Current Student" status.
Data Security: Once an Email Alias has been activated, it cannot be reused under any circumstances to prevent data confusion and ensure the security of academic records.
Service Termination: The Email Alias will be automatically deactivated 1 year after the student's official graduation date.
3. Naming Convention
The requested alias must follow the format name_surname@cmu.ac.th (English lowercase only, separated by an underscore _). Shorter names are preferred. The first name part must remain unchanged and strictly match the data in the Registration Office (REG) system database, while the surname part can be shortened or abbreviated. Applicants must provide 3 options in order of preference to avoid duplicate names in the system.
Naming Examples: Primary Account: StudentID@cmu.ac.th Name & Surname in the REG database: Somchai Gordon
Option 1 (First name_First letter of surname): somchai_g@cmu.ac.th
Option 2 (First name_Part of surname): somchai_gor@cmu.ac.th
