Check your SSU Email everyday!

All current SSU students, faculty and staff have a Sonoma State email address provided to them by Sonoma State. The University communicates with you primarily, and for some purposes only through your SSU student email account. Check your email regularly for registration, financial aid, library, human resoures and course communications. See the Provost's Memo Re: Email Communication Initiative.

Email Quotas

Your email account has a disk quota - 25 MB for students, 1 GB for faculty & staff. Be sure to periodically save important messages to your computer's hard drive and delete messages you no longer need. If you go overquota, you may not receive important messages.

Username & Password

You will use your SSU Seawolf ID and password to access your email. Your Seawolf ID is the key to accessing many services at SSU, so keep it safe and don't share it with others.

Email Instructions

Most up-to-date email clients will work with SSU's mail servers. You can find step-by-step instructions for setting up and using the email clients supported by IT on our website.

Other Email Services

SSU email includes spam and virus filtering, and does not require advertisement-loaded interfaces. However, no automated system can completely protect your computer security and privacy, so we recommend you follow these Safe Email Practices and avoid using Unsafe Attachment File Types. Also, check out IT's Safe Computing guidelines, especially the section on Spam.

We also offer several online tools for accessing and managing your mail account on the Email Tools page:
