New students, staff and faculty are automatically started with a Google Workspace Account (Formerly GSuite).

You can log in through gmail.nmu.edu or gmail's web site. Make sure to use your full NMU email address and the password you use for all your NMU accounts. If you already have a gmail account, you'll need to Add a New Account and enter your NMU credentials.

Retirees or returning students who left NMU before 2017 must manually enable Google Workspaces (formerly GSuite) on their account to receive their NMU email

Please keep the following in mind before opting in:

• New email to your @nmu.edu address will be delivered to the Google mail server (including calendar invites).
• Email forwarding settings set through MyUser will be ignored.
• The Webmail link in MyNMU will link to Google Gmail.
