Email Problem?
Your Gavilan College student email account is automatically created by Google after you attend your first class. If you have not yet enrolled in and attended a class, an email account will not be generated.
If your email still shows as "not configured" or reports an error, you're not alone—several students have experienced this issue. Fortunately, there is a workaround available.

How long can I keep my Gavilan e-mail address?
While you are taking classes at Gavilan College, your e-mail account will be maintained. At the end of your last enrolled semester, a 1-year grace period starts, allowing you to transition off of Gavilan's system. If you re-enroll within that grace period, your 'active' status will be re-established. At the end of the 1-year grace period, your @my.gavilan.edu e-mail account will be discontinued.
