Many software services at Penn rely on an email address for identifying you. For this reason, you will need to choose a primary address and and enter it in the Penn Directory.
Before You Start
You will need one or more of the following before you can complete this task:
- A Pennkey account
- A Wharton account
Students
In most cases, Wharton students will want to set their Wharton address as their primary address. However, here are some situations where that might be different:
- Dual Degree students have two email addresses, one for each degree program.
- Students forwarding to a personal email address may wish to consider which address they prefer to list as a primary address in the Penn Directory.

- Penn Canvas
