The student email address is scripted to be the preferred email in Banner/BU Brain. If faculty/staff have a student email address then this email address will be transferred into Brightspace as their email address. If you do not want your student email to be used in Brightspace then please reach out to helpdesk@binghamton.edu. You can request that they change your email address in Brightspace or ask to have your student email address deleted. The preferred email in BUBrain cannot be changed because there are scripts that run each night to ensure that the student @binghamton.edu address is used there.
