What is it?
Google Mail (Gmail) is Mount Holyoke College’s official email app and offers a full range of email features, including organizing emails with multiple labels, creating filters for automatic email handling, creating individual contact groups and flagging emails in a variety of ways for follow-up.
Our Google G-Suite for Education service provides you with an @mtholyoke.edu email address with Google’s many useful features. We recommend you take the time to familiarize yourself with Google Mail’s useful features by reviewing the Google Mail Help Center.
Please note that LITS supports accessing MHC Gmail on the web (via Chrome, Firefox, or Safari) and on Android and iOS email apps. We do not support desktop email applications like Apple Mail, Mozilla Thunderbird, etc.
Who can use it?
- Current MHC students, faculty, and staff
- MHC Emeritus faculty
- Select MHC contingent workers, depending on their role
- MHC alums, within one year of their degree conferral date*
*MHC alums who graduated prior to 2026 with active Google accounts will continue to have access until May 31, 2027, at which point their access will end. Read more about this change.
How do I get it?
