change in campus email address

Current student users have the old email information, but we need to update it to the new.
Is there a way to automate something like this, without individually changing 1500+ accounts by hand?
I've already altered the email address for new students--I'm just concerned about the ones who are already there!
Thanks--

You can reimport these students. Make sure to check the "Update existing records" checkbox. This will preserve the old student's related records (e.g. appointments and visits) while updating their info including the email address.

We don't import our students to get them into the system (our campus does not allow us to do so). They enter their own information when they come for the first time (i.e. answer the profile questions themselves). Can I somehow export their information and then re-import it? Or would re-importing not work since their ID's would be duplicated and their history of visits/appointments be lost? Is there a way to just export--import the profile information, without affecting their histories?
I'm sorry for the basic questions--I just need more specific guidance on how to accomplish this.
Also, I just realized that I should have posted this in the AccuTrack 10 forum, not the SQL version! Sorry!

If you like we can have our senior developer remote into your system and update the emails for you. He can run a few programming commands to update the addresses in bulk on the fly. Call our support department to set up the online assistance session.
