Email

There are two primary mail services for general campus use:

1. student.ubc.ca (student email, addresses end in @student.ubc.ca) and
2. outlook.office.com (for Faculty and Staff, addresses are cwlusername@mail.ubc.ca or end in @zoology.ubc.ca or @ubc.ca). 

For various aspects of UBC business, you’re required to have a UBC email address, whether it’s an @student.ubc.ca, @mail.ubc.ca, @ubc.ca, or @zoology.ubc.ca address. Some specific services depend on a particular mail account, so you may only end up needing one of these mail accounts, or you may end up needing both.
