Email Consent
Please be aware that the University’s primary method of communicating with students is through email. We will do our best to limit the number of emails that you receive from us, but in many cases, including information about registration, campus emergencies, special events, and Commencement, email may be the only communication used. It is your responsibility to check your Tufts email account regularly. Please do not forward your Tufts email to any other account (Gmail, etc.) because forwarding may prevent your emails from being delivered.
If you do not give your consent to receive financial aid information via email, please email studentservices@tufts.edu.
