Student Email

Students can access their email two ways:

1. Visit https://outlook.office.com

2. Click the Email link in our navigation bar

All enrolled students, regardless of program, are assigned a Bates email account which is provided as a service of the college and will be the official communication address.

Access to college email accounts allows students to work collaboratively and communicate with other students, receive class assignments and other information from instructors electronically, and directly receive information regarding financial aid, scholarships and other relevant areas from college departments and through the weekly Associated Student Government/Diversity Center Student eNewsletter. Also, those who enroll in Bates online courses will need to check their Bates email after registering to obtain instructions for their online course.
