Saddleback College uses Microsoft Office 365 Outlook for student email accounts.

Email addresses are available within 24 hours of applying for admission and are automatically assigned using the information that was provided during the application process.

Accounts are continued with no interruption in services as long as you remain enrolled each semester (excluding summer semesters). Accounts will be deleted along with any unread messages approximately three weeks after the start of the semester (excluding summer) for students not enrolled in at least one class for that semester.

Attention new/returning students: You must reset your default password (PIN+00) to a more secure password to access your student email account.
