Enrollment 101: BucMail

      
    All admitted CSU students receive a CSU BucMail email account, which includes email, OneDrive, Messenger/Skype, and online and installable versions of Office 365. Once you are attending classes, faculty and staff will use your BucMail address to notify you of important information. Financial Aid updates, changes, and reminders are sent to your BucMail address, so it is important you check your BucMail account frequently.

    Accessing BucMail
    ➡️ New students can find their BucMail address on their Application Status Page. Please note: our BucMail address system is changing in August 2025, and your login instructions will be based on the type of account you currently have:
    If your BucMail account ends in @student.csuniv.edu:

    ➡️ Access your BucMail account at https://www.outlook.com/student.csuniv.edu (or by logging into MyCSU and clicking on the BucMail link on the left if you have already obtained your MyCSU log-in credentials). This will take you to the Windows Office 365 sign-in page. Your BucMail address is your Windows Live ID when logging into your email account.

    ➡️ New students: your default password can be found in your Application Status Page under the Your Information tab
    ➡️ Use the first two characters of your first name (first letter is capitalized), the first two characters of your last name (first letter is capitalized), a dash "-" and your 6-digit student ID number with a leading 0.
    ➡️ Note: if your ID number is less than 6 digits, include leading zeroes until you get to 7 digits (#1234 becomes 0001234, etc.).
    ➡️ For example:
