For students and campuses

Use an email address on a domain you are authorized to control.

Route mail from a domain you own or are authorized to manage into a verified inbox. Institution-wide use requires an approved domain, capacity review, privacy controls, and IT authorization.

Why this keeps coming up

No campus address

Plenty of colleges never issue one. You still need a real address for internships, journals and student discounts.

Budgets are tight

Paid mail suites cost per student. A whole department can run on one flat plan instead.

IT queues are long

Requests sit for months. This takes minutes and needs no mail server.

Clubs and projects need shared inboxes

One address can deliver to the whole committee, and handover is one click when the year ends.

If you're a student

  1. 1

    Claim an address

    Use your own domain, or ask your department to connect theirs. You pick something like you@cs.university.edu.

  2. 2

    It lands in the Gmail you use

    No new inbox, no new password, no app to install. Mail simply arrives where you already read it.

  3. 3

    Share it with your faculty

    Send the ready-made one-page brief below to your IT or student union and get everyone covered.

If you're the institution

  1. 1

    Connect one delegated subdomain

    Delegate a subdomain such as students.university.edu after IT review. This isolates planned mail changes from the root zone, while the parent delegation remains an explicit DNS change.

  2. 2

    Create addresses in bulk

    Every student, club and department gets an address that forwards to the inbox they already use.

  3. 3

    Keep full control

    Every change is logged, the domain stays in your name, and you can revoke access at any time.
