Email Correspondence

We use your preferred email, which was used for registration, to communicate all important information and notices about your studies.

For students who have been using a UAlberta email address (e.g., @ualberta.ca) as their preferred email, please update your CERegister profile as soon as possible. Ensure that your preferred email address is set to a personal, non-UAlberta email to help reduce future access or communication issues. Continuing Education students who are currently employed by the University of Alberta are not affected by this change.

How to update your preferred email:

1. Sign in to CERegister
2. Go to My Profile
3. Add your personal (non-UAlberta) email address
4. Under Preferred Email Contact, select your non-UAlberta email
5. Select “Save” at the bottom of the page to save your changes.

CCID

The University of Alberta’s Continuing Education is streamlining our processes to provide students with a more seamless experience. As part of this effort, students will now access Continuing Education systems and platforms using one email address. To support this change, access to Continuing Education services will be based on your preferred (personal) email address, rather than a UAlberta email/CCID.
