Email Problem?

Once you attend your first class at Gavilan College, your email account will be automatically created by Google. If your email still shows as "not configured" or reports an error, you're not alone—several students have experienced this issue. Fortunately, there is a workaround available.

Working email on myGav

Solution 2

If your email is still not working after these steps, if you can't see it on gmail.com, please email the webmaster at webmaster@gavilan.edu. Please include your name and GNumber.

How long can I keep my Gavilan e-mail address?

While you are taking classes at Gavilan College, your e-mail account will be maintained. At the end of your last enrolled semester, a 1-year grace period starts, allowing you to transition off of Gavilan's system. If you re-enroll within that grace period, your 'active' status will be re-established. At the end of the 1-year grace period, your @my.gavilan.edu e-mail account will be discontinued.
