As a student, you are expected to regularly check your account for updates on the management of your course, key student administration matters, University events and individual emails from your lecturers and fellow students.
Login to your student email account if you already know how it works. If you're not sure how it works and what you can do with the system, read on.

How to access your student email
If you are a first time user you can activate your student email account within 48 hours of successfully enrolling at the University. To check your enrolment status, contact the Student Service Centre +61 3 9919 6100.
After you find out your login details and review the terms and conditions, you can then start setting up your email account.
If you have previously accessed your student email account, you can go directly to Outlook Live and login using the same user ID and password.
Important emails from the Victoria University community will be sent to your student email account so it is important that you activate your student email and check it on a regular basis.
When configuring for mobile devices, use the server name m.outlook.com
Manage your email accounts
If you already have an email account, you can either forward your student emails onto your primary email account or use your student email account to send and receive mail for your other email accounts.
Forward your student emails to your existing email address
To forward your student emails onto your personal email account, follow these simple steps.
- Log into your student email account
