MSU Student Email powered by Google

Information & Set-up Instructions

What you need to know ~

This past spring (2009), based on student feedback, and with the active involvement of many current students, MSU adopted Google to provide email services to all students (plus calendaring and document sharing, aka gapps). At that time information and instructions about the transition was posted on the Current Students Web page, this page is an updated version of that information.

* Those who share a common first-last name may have a number appended to it like this: jane.doe2@msu.montana.edu

MSU communications include billing statements, class listserves, and other official notifications.

Option: Mail can be forwarded to another account if preferred.
