You can access your student email a few separate ways: via MyState, the Outlook App, and Web Address.
Newly Accepted Students
If you are newly accepted and have not registered for class, you will first need to access your student email using the Cloud/Web option. You will not have access to the full Office 365 suite until you have registered for a class, thus you will not be able to access your email until after you have registered for classes.
Students with Additional Outlook Accounts
If you have a previous Outlook account, make sure to sign out of that account before trying to access your school email.
