Student Email Information

Eagle Mail (IVCC student email) is considered an official means of communication and the College expects students to access their account on a regular basis.  For new students and students who have not attended IVCC for 1 year, your Eagle Mail account will be created within 24 hours after registering for credit courses.  Your Eagle Mail account will remain active up to three semesters (1 year) after your last semester in a credit course at IVCC.
