What is an “alias” e-mail address?
Every employee at NIU who uses GroupWise is issued a System E-mail Address, which consists of the AccountID followed by @wpo.cso.niu.edu. Because this address is difficult to remember, we also provide you with a simplified version, known as the alias address. Go to the NIU On-Line Phone Book. Type in your name and hit Enter. Note the blue link next to your name. This is your alias address. Although both addresses will work, we recommend using the alias.
