To register to the Commons, you need a CUNY email address. Once you have finished registering, you can switch to a more convenient email address.

Please note: Commons members can have two email addresses.

(1)Your Notification Email Address (i.e. your “official” email address)

This is the address you use to reset your password and to receive Commons notifications. To change this,  go to  Account>>Account Settings >> Security.  (https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/members/YOUR MEMBER NAME/settings/). To change your email, re-write your preferred email in the ‘Email Address’ field, then scroll down and select “Save Changes.”

(2)Your Profile Email Address

If you have a Commons CV, you can choose to display your email address on it. It doesn’t need to be the same as your Account email address. Find out more about building your Commons Public CV.
