What is EagleMail?
EagleMail, powered by Google, is the preferred email service for students at Central Texas College.   


How do I get an account?
New student email accounts are automatically created three days after an instructor has completed their class census. Your EagleMail activation email will go to the email address you have on file with CTC as your "primary" email.


What is my EagleMail account login?
EagleMail addresses are created by combining the first initial and the last name of a student’s legal name (e.g., [email protected]). Your personal login may contain a number if the previous combination has already been claimed (e.g., [email protected]).


I did not receive an email notification about my EagleMail account.  Where can I find my EagleMail address?
Your EagleMail address can be viewed under User Options > User Profile in Eagle Self Service.


Do I need to change my password after logging into my account for the first time?
You are not required to change your password, but you are STRONGLY encouraged to do so.


What services are included with EagleMail?  Can I use other Google Applications such as Calendar and Chat?
Yes, but EagleMail is the only service officially supported by CTC.


How long do I get to keep my EagleMail account?
Students get to keep their EagleMail account for life.


What if I already have a personal Gmail account?
Your EagleMail account serves as your official CTC email address. EagleMail is managed by CTC’s IT Division and is separate from your personal Google mail account (Gmail). You cannot use a personal Gmail account to access your EagleMail account. However, you can forward your student email to any personal account!


Can I opt out of EagleMail?
No. Central Texas College distributes important news and information through EagleMail, and many professors use EagleMail to communicate and receive assignments.


Is EagleMail Section 508 compliant?
Users with disabilities should contact the Disabilities Support Office in building 111, room 207.


Does EagleMail meet FERPA guidelines?
Google is contractually and legally obligated to protect your information. Google will not share your personal information with any outside party.
