NOTE: In most
cases your Alumni ID number is your old student number. Your
old student login ID (in the format x0y0z) IS NOT your alumni
ID number.
NOTE TO 2009 GRADS: Due to changes being made to
the alumni database, 2009 graduates will not be able to claim/update their
EFL accounts through this site for the forseeable future. However, UNB allows
recent graduates to keep their student e-services, including access to their
webmail accounts, for one year after they've finished their last course.
This means 2009 grads can still claim/update EFL accounts through the e-mail
tab on their student e-services. Just click on the E-Mail Destination & E-mail
Name link.
GRADUATES OF ALL OTHER YEARS MAY USE THE FOLLOWING LINKS:
The UNB Alumni EFL is a free service designed to help our alumni keep in touch with each other. It's sole purpose is to facilitate individual communication of a personal nature among the members of the UNB Associated Alumni. Use of this service for any other purpose, including, but not limited to, reproducing and storing addresses in a retrieval system by any means, electronic or mechanical, or using the service for any group, commercial or political mailing is strictly prohibited and is in direct violation of copyright and constitutes misappropriation of corporate property.
What is EFL?
EFL is not a full e-mail service. Rather, it is a service that will forward to your ‘real’ e-mail address any messages sent through your UNB Alumni EFL account.
How does EFL work?
Users will claim an account ending with @unb.ca through this website, and during that process will record their ‘real’ address. As long as the user keeps their UNB alumni EFL account updated with their ‘real’ address, any mail directed to them through their EFL address will get to them.
What's the advantage in that?
In a word, portability! It won't matter what ISP you subscribe to or how many times you change Internet providers. If you tell your friends your e-mail address is 123.456@unb.ca (even through your ‘real’ address is xyz@456.789) your mail will go through. And if your ‘real’ address changes, you only have to record that one change on the alumni EFL website. Once you do that, mail sent to you at 123.456@unb.ca will continue to get through, even though your ‘real’ address has changed.
