Student Email

How to Get Started

1. Set Up Your Email
   Get an OCC Student Email Address, if you haven’t done so already.
   To sign up, go to Sign In to Student Email.
   
   
2. Check Your Email Often
   Check your OCC Student Email Address frequently so you do not miss responding to any time-sensitive requests from an instructor or other part of OCC.
   If you prefer, set your OCC Student Email Address to forward all emails to an existing email account you already check frequently.
   
   
3. Use Your OCC Email for Class
   When you send an email to OCC (such as an assignment to your instructor), use your OCC Student Email Address. This ensures your message is not mistaken as spam.
   If you need help, contact the Student Technical Helpdesk.

Why do you need to do this?

• More and more communications from OCC to you will ONLY come via your OCC Student Email Account.
• An OCC Student Email Account is required for registration.
• Official communications about your classes, billing statements, financial aid, accounts, retention alerts, etc. will come only to your Student Email (no longer on paper). This also includes notice of school closings and health and safety issues.
• Messages you send to OCC from your OCC Student Email Address have no risk of being held as spam.

Security & Privacy

• Email communications must comply with federal and/or state regulations and college policies.
• Oakland Community College will never request personal or confidential information such as social security number, credit/debit card numbers, or bank account identification information by email.
• Students are responsible for keeping their email passwords confidential, and must not share it with others.
