OK with how this works? Log In, get help and guidance, check service status.
Whether you are student or staff, the University's changing your Bath Spa email to a new provider - Google Apps - because it offers us larger mailboxes, better, affordable collaborative tools, a better spam filter, better search. Lastly, both students and staff will use the same email system.
BSU Gmail for students
You need to start using your Bathspa Gmail account. If you're using a '@bathspa.org' account, it will continue to work, but it will no longer receive email from University systems such as the library.
As soon as your Bathspa Gmail account is available, log into your University Gmail account and use it in place of your @bathspa.org account. You can set up Gmail's 'Mailfetcher' to collect mail from other accounts into your gmail account.
