Seawolf Gmail, Calendar & Apps
Check your SSU Email everyday!
Seawolf Gmail Accounts For Students
All current SSU students have a Sonoma State email address provided to them by Sonoma State through Gmail. 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 and course communications.
Your Seawolf Gmail Account gives you access to Google Email, Calendar, Google Docs and several other applications.
Seawolf Gmail Accounts for Faculty & Staff
All SSU employees have a Sonoma State email address and account on Exchange. Employees may request a Seawolf Gmail account in addition to Exchange. This may make it easier for some faculty who are sharing Google Docs with students, or for employees to collaborate with coworkers. Visit the IT Help Desk to request an account.
