Student Email
Part of Google Workspace core tools, Gmail is the official email for UIC students, with the exception of students from the College of Dentistry and School of Law.
UIC email accounts are created for students once their NetID is activated. Visit Student NetID to learn how to activate your NetID.
Once a student activates their NetID and password, they will be able to log in to their UIC email. Any emails sent to their @uic.edu email address will be sent to their designated UIC email account.
