Overview
All Central College users have a Microsoft 365 email account. Microsoft Outlook is used to read email.
Although students and employees use a slightly different email syntax, they work the same way.
- Employee email address is last name, first initial followed by @central.edu (Bob White = whiteb@central.edu)
- Student email address is your last name, first initial, plus a number followed by @central.edu (Jane Doe = doej1@central.edu)
Central uses email for official communications, and you must check your Central email account regularly. Your email can be accessed from your computer, a campus computer lab, or from any device.
**User also need to change their password annually for continued access.
