In addition to this, PhD students will still be assigned student lifetime email addresses in the format [firstname].[lastname]@phd.mccombs.utexas.edu. These addresses were previously assigned to McCombs Exchange student mailboxes. However, from this point forward these lifetime email address will be associated with the students' UTmail accounts.

Employee Mailboxes
The purpose of the employee mailboxes is for the PhD students to conduct business in their capacity as TAs and RAs. PhD students will show up to other faculty and staff in the McCombs global address list with these addresses. Just as with other Faculty and Staff, these mailboxes will be required to view the McCombs global addresses list, see the free/busy time of other McCombs employees, and reserve resources such as conference rooms. Just as with other Faculty and Staff, these mailboxes will be deleted when PhD students are no longer affiliated with the school as TAs or RAs. In most cases this will happen upon graduation. However, in cases where PhD students continue to assist in research after graduation these accounts will continue to persist as long as is needed. The [firstname].[lastname]@mccombs.utexas.edu addresses associated with those accounts will also cease to function when the mailbox is deleted.
