All changes that will have a significant impact on any mission critical systems, PVAMU network or a system stores sensitive/controlled/ mission critical data must be approved by the change committee.

Messages that Mimecast identifies as clear, undeniable spam (like those attempting to maliciously spoof a PVAMU email address or that contain known, malicious links) will drop before delivery. Solicitations, unwanted listserves, and other types of content are held by Mimecast, and users receive an email every day at 8 am, 12 pm and 4 pm with options to release emails they don’t consider spam.
