Northern Kentucky University provides an email address for all students, faculty, and staff. This address is used by academic departments and administrative offices to send official communications to NKU students. This includes notices about registration, payments and payments due, housing, dining, class communications, grades, teacher evaluations, and all other official communications. It is the expectation that NKU students will regularly check their NKU email for important correspondence. Failure to check the official University email account does not relieve the student of academic, legal, or fiduciary responsibility to the institution.
