  1. The address is not a UB email address.
  2. The domain of the URL is not buffalo.edu.  The words "exchowa.buffalo.edu" show up at the very end, not the beginning (.e.g http://www.buffalo.edu/ubit.html)

I already clicked the link. What should I do?

  • If clicked on the link, but did not enter your password, please check that your computer security or anti virus program is on and up to date.
