Your email address will be your username followed by “@clemson.edu” (i.e. tiger@clemson.edu).
Before you begin:
To access your email account for the first time:
Like previous students, you have also been given a Google Workspace for Education account, but Gmail has been disabled.
Clemson students can use Google Workspace for applications like Google Docs, Google Drive, Google Slides, etc. There will be no Gmail associated with Clemson Google Workspace starting in Spring 2024. New students will use Microsoft Exchange for email starting in January.
Go to http://g.clemson.edu to access your Google Workspace for Education account. Your username will be your Clemson username@g.clemson.edu. This account has its own password separate from the one associated with your Clemson Username. The initial password will be “cu##” followed by the last four numbers of your social security number (i.e. cu##1234). After the initial use, you should reset that password (it will not match your Clemson password).
Log in to the Email Control Panel with your university username and password. Click “Reset my Google Apps password” and follow all of the instructions on the next screen.
Since international students do not have a social security number, you must log in to the Email Control Panel with your university username and password to reset your password. Click “Reset my Google Apps password” and follow all of the instructions on the next screen.
You can change your password within your account settings. Resetting your G Workspace password will NOT change your Clemson Username password. For detailed instructions, please see Google’s password reset walkthrough.
If you have more questions, email ITHELP@clemson.edu or call 864-656-3494.
