Connect to Email

Microsoft's Office 365 provides a powerful email package, enabling users to access mail, calendar, contacts, and to-do lists from the Outlook Desktop app, on the web, or on your mobile devices.

The address for accessing your email online is:

http://mail.gordon.edu

Your username is your [email protected].

Apple Users: Please do not use Safari the first time you sign into your account, as many users have reported errors when they first set up their account on Safari. After you log in the first time, Safari should work.

If you are new to Gordon College and have not previously set up an email account, you will need to log into your new email account through a browser before accessing it through an email client or mobile device.

Accessing your Gordon Email

If you use Microsoft Outlook, Apple Mail, a smartphone, or a tablet to connect to your email account, or if you wish to forward your Gordon account to another email account, please follow the instructions below. Please note, web access (http://mail.gordon.edu) is the only supported method for alumni to check their Gordon email account. Other options are provided below for faculty/staff and current students, and should work fine for alumni, but are not supported by CTS.
