For academic programs, you communicate with registration and advising staff before you even start courses. After your application is accepted, some institutions provide you with an email account and instructions on how to access that account. These institutions often require that this account be used for all school business. On the other hand, allowing students to use an external email account of their choice is becoming increasingly popular. We recommend setting up a free account with Google (http://gmail.com) strictly for school communication. This helps separate your personal materials from your school communications.

Communication with academic institutions can become a part of your academic record. Therefore, if you are able to use a personal email address, choose one that’s more professional in nature than certain personal addresses — for example, KevinJohnson@gmail.com rather than TheGoofster@gmail.com.
