UCI Gmail: I'm a new student. How do I setup my UCI Gmail account?

7 views

All new undergraduate and transfer students receive UCI Gmail accounts. To use your UCI Gmail, you must first activate it. Please follow the steps below to activate your UCI Gmail account.

Note: This does NOT apply to Merage MBAs/Grad students or Law School students (as they use Office 365). If you are one of these students, please contact your local IT in Merage or the Law School for support.

  1. Go to G Suite Student Setup and follow the instructions under New Student to reset your password.
  2. You'll then have the opportunity to sign in. Make sure you use your full email address (UCInetID@uci.edu) as the username.
  3. Upon your first successful login to your UCI Gmail account, you will have to agree to Terms of Service. Once you do, you will have full access to your inbox.

Going forward, whenever you want to check your email from the web, you can simply visit gmail.com and sign in with your full email address (UCInetID@uci.edu) as the username.
