Updating Personal (External) Email Address

In addition to PolyU Connect ("@connect.polyu.hk") or Staff ("@polyu.edu.hk") email address, a personal email address is used as an alternative means used by the University to communicate with user (e.g. when user reset NetPassword).
Users are recommended to regularly review and update personal email address in NetID profile.
