Welcome to the UNB Alumni EFL

(E-mail Forwarding for Life) Service

In order to access the EFL service you will need a UNB Alumni Account, consisting of your UNB Login ID (your old student login id) and password.  If you're a recent graduate then you already have an alumni account - just keep using your old student login ID and password.  If you don't have an alumni account or don't remember your login ID or password, please visit the Alumni Account Management page.  From there you will also be able to change your password and your challenge questions & answers.

Once you have activated your alumni account, you may update your EFL account name and forwarding address

The UNB Alumni EFL is a free service designed to help our alumni keep in touch with each other. It's sole purpose is to facilitate individual communication of a personal nature among the members of the UNB Associated Alumni. Use of this service for any other purpose, including, but not limited to, reproducing and storing addresses in a retrieval system by any means, electronic or mechanical, or using the service for any group, commercial or political mailing is strictly prohibited and is in direct violation of copyright and constitutes misappropriation of corporate property.

What is EFL?
EFL is not a full e-mail service. Rather, it is a service that will forward to your ‘real’ e-mail address any messages sent through your UNB Alumni EFL account.

How does EFL work?
Users will claim an account ending with @unb.ca through this website, and during that process will record their ‘real’ address. As long as the user keeps their UNB alumni EFL account updated with their ‘real’ address, any mail directed to them through their EFL address will get to them.

What's the advantage in that?
In a word, portability! It won't matter what ISP you subscribe to or how many times you change Internet providers. If you tell your friends your e-mail address is 123.456@unb.ca (even through your ‘real’ address is xyz@456.789) your mail will go through. And if your ‘real’ address changes, you only have to record that one change on the alumni EFL website. Once you do that, mail sent to you at 123.456@unb.ca will continue to get through, even though your ‘real’ address has changed.
