 Using Your Hamline E-mail Account
Hamline University provides an e-mail account (NetMail or GroupWise) for students. All degree-seeking students are required to use the official Hamline e-mail account for Hamline-related correspondence. All university correspondence, including assignments, course materials, notices of class cancellations, financial aid information, safety and security alerts, news and events, and other critical information, will only be sent to official Hamline e-mail addresses, and many notices will only be sent via e-mail.
If you have not done so, you will need to start using your Hamline e-mail account.
