NOTICE: "Welcome to smartAHD" emails and website are legitimate
Friday, February 15, 2019
3/28/19 update: Improvements have been made to the smartAHD registration process. New users no longer receive a password via email. The user registration email (see sample of email—U-M login required) now directs new users to create their own password. That email has been rewritten to include additional information about the relationship between U-M, smartAHD, and 3-East LLC. It references resources recipients can use to verify its authenticity. In addition, the email now comes from a smartAHD address.

This information was sent via email to U-M IT staff groups on February 15, 2019.
