How to Get Student Webmail to Gmail
College students are typically assigned an email address upon registration, and many schools offer a web-based interface from which to check and send messages. Students who already have a Gmail account and don’t wish to check two separate webmail interfaces every day can consolidate their student email messages into Gmail. Gmail also allows students to send messages using their student email account, so any outgoing messages will contain their student email address.
