Additional Email

Google Apps is an optional, secondary email account for established users at CSU. All users with Microsoft for email will always receive their important university messages in that account. Google Apps is an add-on service for those who opt to use it.

Note: Some older accounts may have Google Apps as their email of record. If you are unsure which email platform is your primary account, contact the IT Help Desk for assistance.
