Email units and unit abbreviations
Staff members who are employed at departments and certain research centres will get the department's/centre's unit abbreviation as part of their email address.
It is the department head (regarding departments) and the deans (regarding centres) who decides whether or not the unit's staff members must use a unit abbreviation in their email address.
The decision applies to all staff members in the unit.
All staff members at the administrative units (all deputy director areas including staff members at the administrative centres) must always use @au.dk in their email address (decision by the senior management team, August 2011).
Below is a list of approved unit abbreviations as of 9th October 2013:

Questions regarding approval of email units can be addressed to Head of Web and Digital Platforms Steffen Longfors, AU Communication.

Unit abbreviations - @(unit.)au.dk
In August 2011, the Senior Management Team has decided that only research related units can use an unit abbreviation in their email address. Staff at the administrative units (the vice deputy areas and the administration centres) will always get an email address which ends with @au.dk.
The choice of unit abbreviations is not an individual choice, but a decision made at each main academic area. All staff, who is primarily affiliated to the unit, needs to follow the decision.
If you find that your unit abbreviation is incorrect, you should contact your immediate supervisor or the person responsible for personal staff data in your department. They are responsible for your registration in AU's it systems.
If you have dual employment, you should know that the unit abbreviation will be generated on the basis of your primary affiliation which is shown on your personal website (the unit written first). Find your personal website on www.au.dk/en/findperson.
