Introduction to Student Email

Every college in our district provide students with access to Google's G Suite applications, which includes Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive, and much more.

Your student email account is actually a Gmail account that is tied to our Cañada College systems.

To access Gmail, just go to the SMCCCD Student Portal and click the Student Email account link near the top of the page. You received a login and password when you registered with Cañada. (If you can't remember your password, you may reset it. I provide instructions on the next page in this module.)

Why Use Your SMCCCD Student Email Account?

It is very important to check your student email account frequently. Why?

Cañada College uses your student email address — with my.smccd.edu — to send you information on grades, financial aid, etc.
Instructors use your student email address to communicate with you.
Canvas is hooked up to your student email address, and it notifies you via email when assignments are graded.
