Student email services - powered by Google

Students at Birkbeck may have a Birkbeck email account, but it is entirely optional. All College email correspondence will be sent to the email address supplied when enrolling on a course. This address may be changed at any time by logging in to the My Birkbeck site. Students also apply for the College email account through the My Birkbeck site.

Birkbeck has subscribed to the Google Apps suite of applications for the provision of student email, and for staff who do not want to use Outlook/Exchange or would like to try or use the additional facilities provided within the Google service.

The service is available to all students, via a tickbox on their My Birkbeck profile. Access to the Birkbeck GMail service requires existing users to have changed their Birkbeck password (which will then be synchronized across the Birkbeck GMail service alongside other services)..

Please note the following:

• While no restriction has been placed on the use of other Google Apps at present, only the mail service is supported.
• Students wishing to use the service as their default mail service for College communications can change their contact email address from the preferences via MyBirkbeck.
• The default format for email addresses is <username>@mail.bbk.ac.uk. <username>@students.bbk.ac.uk will continue to work.
