This page gives you general information the university's main e-mail systems. Information about how to apply for a San Jose State University E-mail account is here.

Types of San Jose State University E-Mail Accounts

The first step is to determine which type of university e-mail account you have. The quick way to find out is to look at your e-mail address. The best clue to determining this is what immediately follows the "@" sign in your e-mail address.

The types of university wide e-mail accounts are:

University E-Mail Google Gmail

Information about the new Google Gmail system is maintained at this Web location. If you do not know if you have a SJSU Google Gmail account, the SJSU ITSS Help Desk can help you:

The Student E-Mail System

San Jose State University, through partnership with Microsoft Live Edu, provides a feature-rich, intuitive electronic mail environment to the Student community. Only students may use this e-mail system. Popular features include web and POP3 client access, online file sharing and storage, blogging, Storage, and account pickup and management through SJSU's SJSUOne application.

Every active SJSU Student has an SJSUOne account, the University Technology Services (UTS) Systems Group has also generated a SJSU Student E-Mail address for each active Student.

You may view information about the SJSU Student E-Mail system on the Web at:

Future Student Wishing to Have an SJSU E-mail Account Now

SJSU does not, at this time, provide e-mail addresses to students prior to enrollment. It is the official policy and practice for SJSU to use the preferred e-mail address (which may be selected or modified in MySJSU) when communicating to all applicants and students via e-mail. By default, the preferred e-mail for incoming applicants is the self-reported e-mail provided on their CSU Mentor application. In addition, important communication is often sent to applicants and students via MySJSU. Please make sure to check your MySJSU account frequently for new messages.

Other university e-mail accounts

Some organizational units (departments) at the university provided their own e-mail services at one time. These accounts were replaced at SJSU with SJSU Google Gmail account accounts. If your e-mail address ends in something other than @sjsu.edu or @students.sjsu.edu, these accounts are not supported by this help desk. If you believe you still have an issue involving a SJSU organizational unit's e-mail account, please contact your desktop support team for assistance.
