“This year however, we have been required to
follow up via phone (which is a big drain on
resources) as many of our students can't find
where their email is. In the conversations
with them I had to walk them through going to
the ualberta.ca homepage then clicking on '
apps@ualberta.ca' to find their email
account.”
