Email Address
Email is the primary mode of communication between AADSAS and applicants. Urgent AADSAS correspondence will only be sent to you via email. Be sure to keep your email address updated at all times. It is the applicant’s responsibility to regularly check both their email and AADSAS application for important messages from AADSAS. Providing an incorrect email address will result in you not receiving important messages from AADSAS and/or the dental schools.
Some email messages from AADSAS are sent to multiple applicants, which makes some email systems identify AADSAS messages as spam or junk email. Some email providers use filters to prevent users from receiving spam. Email filters may interpret an email from AADSAS or a dental school as spam and automatically delete a message to you about the status of your application. To avoid missing important AADSAS emails, turn the “spam” or “junk” email filters off during the application cycle. If your email provider does not allow you to turn the filter off, you may have to access a “junk mail file” that archives all messages identified as sent to multiple addresses. Periodically check your spam/junk email file for AADSAS or dental school related messages. If you do not currently have an email address or are unable to turn off the spam/junk filters described, please establish a new email account.
