All KSU students, faculty, and staff are provided with an email account. The account will allow access to various computing resources. We strongly recommend use of this account when conducting university business because important messages from the University are often only sent by email. Also, the IT department will use this address to keep users informed of application updates, warning, training and other technical information.
All student email accounts are created upon enrollment at KSU.
