Gmail Help

Google Mail (Gmail) is the college's email system for contacting students and other college personnel. Any official mail sent to students should be sent to a student's college Google Mail address (or through Canvas). Here is an example of a student's email address for the college: jadoe@sbcc.edu.

To access your college email, log into the campus portal and select the Gmail link. Selecting this link will open your Gmail in a new browser window.
