About Chemeketa Gmail
Chemeketa uses Gmail as our official college email system. Every student and employee at Chemeketa are assigned a college email account.
Faculty are expected to check their employee email accounts regularly. This email account is where you will receive time-sensitive and important communications from the College and from students.

Email Expectations and Guidelines

Every student at Chemeketa is provided a college email account and is advised to use it as a primary mode of communicating with their instructors. Nevertheless, some students forward their Chemeketa email to a personal address and attempt to communicate through their non-Chemeketa account.

Instead, respond to their request by letting them know that you will be sending the information to their username@my.chemeketa.edu e-mail.
