Outlook provides access to your email and calendar. You may choose to install Outlook on your desktop or use the web-based client.  All College employees and students (starting July 2022) use Outlook to receive their email. 

Outlook is critical to your success as a community member because it is where all official College communications and course communications are sent. You are also expected to communicate with the College community through your assigned College email address.
