Highline Student Email Guide

Overview

Highline student email accounts are the primary method of official communication between students and the campus community.

• See college policies (Information Technology: 6000s) to read the student email policy.

Once students have activated their myHighline login they can access their email account using their myHighline user name and password.  Highline student email operates on the Gmail platform in Google’s G-Suite for Education.

Students can log in to their student email account at students.highline.edu.

• A Highline student email address is [myHighline username] @students.highline.edu

Official college correspondence will be sent to this email address, as well as all email correspondence from Canvas.

If students wish to have their Highline email sent to a non-Highline email, they may forward their email per the instructions below.
