All active students will receive a new @my.ggu.edu email address. Students who are already using the legacy @umail.ggu.edu email accounts will continue to have access to Umail for now. We encourage all students to start using their new @my.ggu.edu email accounts. With the introduction of the new student email system, all University-related email communication will be sent to the @my.ggu.edu accounts starting February 18th, 2020.

In order to receive a @my.ggu.edu email address, you will have to be registered for courses. Once you register, a student email account will be automatically created for you within 24 hours of registration. An email link will be added to your myGGU Portal landing page once your student email is active.
