BGSU provides an official university email account as part of the BGSU Account given to all staff, faculty, students and maintained for alumni and retirees. Official university correspondence is sent through email and faculty, staff and students will need to access this email account on a regular and timely basis in order to stay current with university related communications.
All BGSU email account addresses follow the format of: username@bgsu.edu. The BGSU cloud-based email system provides users with access to email, communication and collaboration services that may be accessed by mobile, desktop, and web-based applications.
All BGSU faculty, staff and students are provided a BGSU email account. However, as one's affiliation with the university changes, account access does the same. The BGSU Account Status Timeline webpage outlines how BGSU email access may alter based on various status changing scenarios.
