Gmail for Students

 

The official e-mail for all students attending MCCCD is going to be <MEID>@maricopa.edu.  Student email accounts will be used to communicate MCCCD business. The new MEID@maricopa.edu email accounts will be loaded into Blackboard beginning with the fall 2009 semester.

 

Students are responsible for communications sent to their Maricopa email address. They should check this email account on a regular basis or forward it to an account which they will check on a regular basis.
