Student email

All University students have a free student email account hosted on Gmail.

Once you have enrolled in your first course, your student email account will be activated. Note that activation times can vary.

You should check your student email regularly for important communications from the University, including Canvas announcements.

Accessing your emails

There are three ways to access your student email:

  • Enter your University email address and password from the Gmail homepage. 

Note: You may be directed to single sign-on as part of logging in.

If you prefer to use an alternative email address, you will need to set up email forwarding.

Your student email account will still be available to you after graduation. This is conditional on you removing all content present in Google Photos. To recover any storage you are using in Google Photos, the University is forced to delete your entire Google account. We really don't want to do this, so ensure your photos are empty when you leave.

If you need assistance accessing your student email or setting up email forwarding, see the friendly team at the Student IT Hub.
