Q: How do I get an email account?
A: You must be a currently registered SSU student, faculty or staff member or emeritus faculty in order to obtain an SSU email account. Students must be officially registered and attending classes. Student accounts will remain active for as long as they are enrolled at Sonoma State University.
Students automatically get an SSU email account when they register for classes. This is so official business can be sent to them through email. To access your student account, go to Quick Links in the upper left of SSU's home page, www.sonoma.edu. Select Online Services and click Go. Log in with your Seawolf (LDAP) ID and click the Webmail link.
Faculty and Staff: To request an email account, visit the IT Help Desk in Schulz 1000 with your Campus ID.
Your email account consists of your username and a password. Your username should look similar to your last name, but may be truncated or may have extra characters added at the end. Your username is assigned automatically based on information you provided to the University. This username may not be changed.
You will be assigned a temporary password when you get your email account which you are required to change. Passwords are case sensitive and expire every 90 days, so make sure you choose something you can remember.
Keep your email account information in a safe place. Computer accounts are not transferable and a user who allows others to access their account is subject to the termination of their account.
You can also get an email account with a commercial Internet Service Provider or one of the many free email account providers such as Yahoo or Hotmail.
