Changes to your Student Email Account

Argosy University Students,

On January 20, 2011 Argosy University will be updating all student email accounts. The new email account will replace campus-specific email addresses (i.e. yourname@atl.stu.argosy.edu) with a single Argosy University email address that will be shared across all campuses (i.e. yourname@stu.argosy.edu).

Why is Argosy Updating Gmail Accounts?

By eliminating the individual campus email addresses, students can retain the same email address if they transfer to a new campus. In addition, the new email address is shorter and easier to remember.

How will I Access my New Email Account?

When your new Email account becomes available on January 20th, there will be a New Email button to access your new account. Once your new email account is activated, all student emails will be sent to that address.

Will my email address change?

Only the domain name in your email address will change, but the rest of your email address will stay the same. For example, if your existing email address is johnsmith@atl.stu.argosy.edu, your new email address will be johnsmith@stu.argosy.edu. We are just removing the campus abbreviation from your email address.

Look for more information about your new email account in the following weeks to help you set up email forwarding from your old Gmail account to your new Gmail account.

If you have questions, please contact Student Services.
