Vanderbilt gives you an email to use for academic purposes. It is generally in the format of first.m.last@vanderbilt.edu. When using a public computer, you can access your email securely through the Outlook Web client at http://email.vanderbilt.edu. For your own computer and mobile devices, you can setup your own email client. Instructions on how to set up your Vanderbilt email for your phone, computer, and tablet are found here. If you do not find what you need here, check out the general Vanderbilt University IT email support documentation here: http://it.vanderbilt.edu/services/messaging/email.
