E-mail Options at WSU
Official WSU E-mail Address
Every WSU student, faculty, and staff member has an official WSU e-mail address that is yournetworkID@wsu.edu. People at WSU such as administrators, instructors, friends and colleagues will use this official WSU e-mail address to correspond with you.
You may continue to use the e-mail account provided by your Internet Service Provider or ISP or you can use a WSU provided e-mail account (see below). There is no requirement to change e-mail providers.
Forward your WSU provided alias (yournetworkID@wsu.edu) to an existing e-mail account.
Set up your WSU e-mail forwarding by registering your e-mail account.
WSU E-mail & Calendaring Services
WSU offers self-service Exchange e-mail and calendaring accounts to graduate and professional students, faculty and staff. When you create a new Connect! Exchange account your Official WSU E-mail Address is automatically set up. Create a New Exchange Account.
Forwarding an existing e-mail account is the prefered option for undergraduate students.
On the occasion that an undergraduate student needs a WSU provided account, one may be requested via the ITS Helpdesk at 509-335-4357.
