Note: Sstudent email and calendars services have migrated from Gmail to Microsoft Office 365 Email. To learn more about this project and the reasoning behind it, please visit the Gmail & Calendar Transition to Office 365 announcement page.
The default W&M email system is Office 365 and hosted by Microsoft. The address for faculty, students, and staff is W&M Username@wm.edu.
Faculty and staff may request an alias for this default email address. For instance, if your default email address is wmgriffin@wm.edu, you may request an alias such as wm.griffin@wm.edu or griffin@wm.edu. If the alias you request is available, your W&M Username (wmgriffin) would not change; however, email sent to wm.griffin@wm.edu or griffin@wm.edu would be directed to your mailbox. To request an alias for your email address, contact [[support]].
