Online classes require e-mail! That is the main method of communication between an instructor and individual students.
Student email is through Office 365. Students can receive email on their mobile devices as well as through the myWSU portal. This email address will be available for life. Log in to your email with your myWSUID@wichita.edu and password.
The account others use to send email to you is different! The account to give friends and others to contact you is not the same as your login. The account others use to contact you has two parts:
Part 1: initials of your first and middle names and your full last name, usually followed by a number.
Part 2: @shockers.wichita.edu
Example: aspaul99@shockers.wichita.edu
