University of Guelph Email Address and Central Login Account

The University-issued email address is considered an official address and must be used for correspondence with the University. Students are responsible for regularly monitoring their university-issued email accounts. See the Undergraduate Calendar, Chapter I “Statement of Students' Academic Responsibilities” for more information. Students can access their University-issued email and WebAdvisor with their Central Login information.

Important Information About Your Central Login Account and U of G Email Address

• Email at the University of Guelph is called Gryph Mail and can be accessed at https://mail.uoguelph.ca or https://outlook.office.com. 
• Your U of G Central Login Account and email address should be used for University purposes only. Please do NOT use your U of G account to sign up for external services. Your access to your U of G account will only remain for one year following the completion of your studies and you will lose access to all external services after that time.
• Your account requires the use of multi-factor authentication (MFA). You will be prompted to set up two MFA methods the first time you access your email or other U of G services, such as CourseLink or WebAdvisor. It is strongly recommended to make the Microsoft Authenticator App your default sign-in method.
• Forgot your password? You can use your MFA methods to reset your password.
• Changing phones or lost access to your default MFA method? Setup more MFA methods to help ensure you can always get into your account. See the MFA guide for more information.
• After you set up MFA, you will be prompted to change your password. Ensure that your new password is unique and not used for any of your other accounts!
• Important note for first-time MFA set-up: You will encounter a check box during the MFA set-up process that says, “Allow my organization to manage my device.” This box must be unchecked. Instead, please choose, “No, sign in to this app only.” See the IT Help webpage for more information.
• Protect your new account and the University by taking cyber security awareness training, available online in CourseLink.
