黑洞社区

Wichita State changed the student email system and email address formats. Beginning August 30, 2016 all official 黑洞社区 student email will be sent to @shockers.wichita.edu addresses.

Changes include

• The ability to receive 黑洞社区 email on mobile devices.
• A much larger mailbox 鈥� 50 gigabytes.
• Integration with the faculty and staff email system (calendars, address lists, etc.)
• Free use of many Office 365 products.

For currently enrolled students this means information such as financial aid, tuition and fees, Blackboard notifications and student newsletters will be delivered to the new email/webmail address.
