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.
Solution 1
Click this button on the myGav portal and login with your my.gavilan.edu email address:
Or go directly to www.gmail.com and login with your email account. (example firstname.lastname@my.gavilan.edu)
This takes you to the myGav login page - now login with your GNumber and PIN. (example G00xxx123, 061287)
Accept the next screen. (Note: you only have to do this once.)
If you have a Gavilan email account, this will open your Gavilan email for you.
After refreshing the page, you should now see your email on the myGav page as well. This is not always the case though.
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.
