Gmail: go.shoreline.edu

 

Starting Feb. 11, 2012, Shoreline Community College will use only College-assigned Gmail e-mail accounts (go.shoreline.edu) for all official

communication with students. Official communications include messages about grades, payments, financial aid and other assistance, emergency and other notifications, the Blackboard learning management system and other messages as required.

 

Standardized e-mail accounts for all students will help assure complete communication of College messages to all students and help protect privacy as required under the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.

 

A significant number of students already have College-assigned Gmail accounts. Previously assigned Gmail accounts will continue to work. Students with previously assigned Gmail accounts are not affected by this change.

 

Students without a College-assigned Gmail account will receive a College-assigned Gmail account. These students will be required to log-in to the College-assigned account.

 

Starting Feb. 11, 2013, all students are required to use their Shoreline-assigned Gmail e-mail account for all college correspondence. The use of any other account in any configuration (forwarded, POP, IMAP, etc.) is not supported. Students are solely responsible for any consequences that result from lost or delayed communications resulting from the use of any e-mail account other than the College-assigned Gmail account.
