Student Edu Email

Your Lakeland email address is as simple as your name.

The format is usually firstname.lastname@edu.lakelandcollege.ca.

You need to know

• Remember to include edu in the address. This is specific to students. Staff and instructor emails don't include this identity.
• Your email address is your username for lab computers, printing, LLC-BYOD wifi, Microsoft 365 and more.
• Your email address isn't activated until you are officially a student and are registered in classes. So, be patient before you try using the address.

You have multiple options for getting your Lakeland email.

1. Access via webmail on the Lakeland website, through the D2L homepage or by going to outlook.com and signing in.

• go to lakelandcollege.ca

• click on webmail, and use your Lakeland email address and password

2. Use the Microsoft Outlook app on your mobile device (smart phone or tablet).

Note: You can also use your device's built-in mail app. Logon using your Lakeland email address and password.

Save money, because you don't have to purchase a student version, or any version, of Microsoft Office.

With your email address you have the full version of Microsoft Office 365 Plus.

Included are these programs:

• Word
• Excel

Even better, you may install Office 365 on up to 5 devices for your personal use, as long as you're a Lakeland student.
