Email for Students (CyMail)

Overview

CyMail is Iowa State University's implementation of Google's Gmail system for students. It provides email, calendaring, website creation, and online document editing in an integrated environment.

When you register for a Net-ID, your CyMail account will be created for you automatically as part of that process. Your email address is a combination of your Net-ID and the domain "iastate.edu". So, if your Net-ID is jstudent, your email address is jstudent@iastate.edu. To register for a Net-ID, go to Net-ID Services and click on "Need to register for a Net-ID?" You will need to know the ID number on your ISUCard.
