1. Set Up Your University Email Account
Your university email is where you receive important messages. If you do not check it, you can miss deadlines or class changes.
What to do: Follow the instructions from your university IT team to activate your student email address. Log in on your phone and computer, and set up notifications or forwarding if the university allows it.
What do you need: You need your student ID, temporary password or activation code and access to your devices.
Outcomes: You will receive course updates, exam information and official messages in one place.
Lifehack: Check your student email at least once a day so nothing important is missed.
