Email Notification Settings
Brightspace is used across all SUNY campuses, and the system is set-up so you won't have to check more than one email inbox to see all your Brightspace notifications. If you're only attending Buffalo State, this will be your Buffalo State email, but if you're also taking classes at another SUNY campus, you may find that the notifications are set to that other campus' email address.
Whenever you sign into the Buffalo State Brightspace portal, the campus landing page will have a BUC Mail Widget showing which SUNY email address your account is currently set to use.
If your notifications are set to use an address from a different campus, the BUC Mail Widget will let you know, as well as provide some info for getting it changed:
Please note that this email notification setting for Brightspace is controlled by SUNY, so you can use the contact info for the SUNY Online Support team in the next section if you'd like to request a change.
