Set up your student email
After you become an enrolled student of La Trobe University all correspondence and invoices (Statements of Account) will be sent to your student email account. If you wish to forward your student emails to another email address you can set this feature up via the options in your Office 365 account (Options > Accounts > Forwarding). Information on accessing your student email can be found here. If you are having difficulty logging in, please contact the Student IT Support.
As a graduate researcher, you will also receive an institutional account that will provide you with access to more of the tools, processes and information they need to complete their degrees on time and a more professional identity to use within the research community. You can set this up by contacting the Student IT Support.
