Office 365

All Georgia Tech students are provided access to the Office 365 suite of applications for use while they are enrolled. In addition, all students now have the option to utilize Office 365 for their official Georgia Tech email.

Office 365 Mailbox Information

Since 2019, all students have Office 365 mailboxes provisioned. This process happens automatically, and may take a few months after paying a deposit.

Once this process completes, you will receive a notification email to the address you used when applying, and you will be able to log in at mail.gatech.edu.

If you would rather use another email service for your Georgia Tech email, you can request to have "Store and Forward" enabled on your account. This will keep a copy of all incoming emails in your Office 365 mailbox, and forward another copy to another email address.

Click here to submit a request to enable Store and Forward.

Please note that any Georgia Tech employee, including student employees, will not be eligible for Store and Forward.
