CIO'S MESSAGE (STUDENTS) - May 11, 2018

Change to Student Email Used for Communications

Dear Students,

In response to increasing phishing attacks and cyber scams, we will implement a change on August 2, 2018 that all official announcements and notices will be sent to your campus-provided “BeachMail” (Outlook) email account. This change means that official University email communications will be sent to your @student.csulb.edu email account.

As part of this change, you will no longer be able to assign a third-party email address (e.g., Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc.) as your “preferred” email account in My. However, if you wish to continue receiving official campus communication at your personal email accounts, you may from your BeachMail account to your preferred personal email account.

You can access your (Outlook) account within the campus (SSO) service.

If you have any questions about this service update, please contact
DoIT-ServiceManagement@csulb.edu or the Technology Help Desk at (562) 985-4959.

We appreciate your understanding during this process as we work to improve our services and information security.

Thank you,

Brian Jersky, Ph.D.
Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs
