AU E-Mail

Learn more about AU E-Mail accounts and services.

AU provides Outlook e-mail accounts for all faculty, staff, and students. Important messages from the university are often only sent by e-mail, so it is very important for you to check your AU e-mail regularly or forward your mail to another account.

Your e-mail account is either created as part of the IT On-Boarding process (for full time staff), or when you complete the self-service account creation application on the myAU.american.edu portal (for faculty, part-time staff, and students). Your e-mail address is displayed during that process.

Faculty, Staff, and Students

E-mail for faculty, staff and students is provided via the Office 365 platform, hosted by Microsoft.

Student Gmail Accounts

Students have recently had their email services transitioned from Gmail to Office 365. Students should take a look at the updates on our transition process.
