- 1.Can I use a private e-mail address to communicate with users of the system?
Each user of the IS VŠFS is assigned an official university e-mail address in the format: učo@mail.vsfs.cz, along with a mailbox for that address. Monitoring this mailbox is mandatory, as important messages from the faculty or university management are sent there.
IS VŠFS allows users to set up forwarding from this mailbox to another e-mail address. Students can forward their university e-mail to any address without restriction, including private ones. However, we strongly advise students not to use private e-mail addresses for communication within the university.
The university e-mail address is an important part of your student identity. When communicating with instructors, the study department, professionals, or institutions, using your university e-mail address presents a more credible and professional impression. It also helps university staff verify your identity and contributes to protecting your personal and academic information. By using a private address, students risk losing this part of their university identity. Moreover, forwarding messages to a private e-mail address may result in important messages (e.g. regarding your studies, registration, deadlines, or results) being blocked or marked as spam.
Staff members have much stricter limitations regarding e-mail forwarding. According to its security recommendations, the National Cyber and Information Security Agency (NÚKIB) strictly prohibits automatic forwarding of work e-mails to private e-mail accounts. University employees may receive messages containing personal data or confidential information. Therefore, automatic forwarding of university e-mails to services not operated by VŠFS is not permitted in IS VŠFS.
