RCCD STudent E-mail
Hello Riverside Community College District Student,
We are transitioning from Hotmail (Windows LIVE) to Outlook Live for Live@edu. As part of this transition, we have migrated all of your e-mail and contacts from Hotmail into your new Outlook Live mailbox.
- Access your Student Email: https://www.outlook.com/student.rcc.edu
- Your e-mail address won't change
- You will access your e-mail using your same user ID and password
- Syntax: username@student.rcc.edu
Watch tutorial on how to access your Student Email
At this time, please continue using Hotmail. All new e-mail is still going to Hotmail, and is periodically being synchronized with the new Outlook Live mailbox. Your existing contacts and messages have been copied to your new Outlook Live mailbox. Please verify that all your contacts and messages were migrated by comparing your old student email account to the new student email account. To do this:
-
Updated! Open your Hotmail mailbox at: https://hotmail.com (do not click on the Mail Icon at the top left of the screen; instead click on the Inbox link below Hotmail Highlights to access your current messages) and then open your new mailbox at: https://www.outlook.com/student.rcc.edu
- Make sure all e-mail messages and contacts that are in Hotmail are also in Outlook Live. If you see any discrepancies, contact admin@student.rcc.edu immediately.
On Monday 2/27/2012, we will make the final switch and you will no longer be able to log into the old Hotmail site. At that time all new messages will be delivered directly to your new Outlook Live mailbox.
On or after the above date, if you try to use your old Hotmail mailbox, you'll be automatically redirected to your new Outlook Live mailbox.
The following four steps will assist you in setting up your new student email account:
- If you use Outlook, add your Outlook Live account to Outlook. Learn how at Set Up Outlook 2007 http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=209703, or Set Up Outlook 2010 http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=209704.
- Transfer your calendar information from a Windows Live calendar https://calendar.live.com to the Outlook Live calendar. Learn how at Transfer Calendar Data From a Windows Live Calendar to Outlook or Outlook Web App http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=209705.
- If you've set up e-mail forwarding in Hotmail, set it up again in Outlook Live. Learn how at Use Rules to Automatically Forward Messages to Another Account http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=209708.
- If you've created contact categories in Hotmail, set them up in Outlook Live as distribution groups. Learn how at Create a New Distribution Grouphttp://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=209707.
Thank you for your patience with this transition.
