Hawkeye uses Google's G Suite for Education allowing you access to your Hawkeye email from anywhere on and off campus!
Login to Your Hawkeye Gmail Account
All students have a Hawkeye email account. This account is created upon acceptance into your program. Please allow one working day after your acceptance for your account to be created.
Synchronizing your Hawkeye email to your smartphone is a convenient way to check your Hawkeye email frequently—ensuring that you receive the important college information you need.
Hawkeye sends important college information including your grades, attendance, financial aid, and graduation information by email only. Please check your Hawkeye email often, preferably daily.
Watch our video on Getting Started with Google G Suite. Also see our Additional Resources to help you get started with your Google G Suite for Education Hawkeye account.
Your Hawkeye Email Account
Your email address is username@hawkeyecollege.edu. Example: firstname.lastname@hawkeyecollege.edu.
Your username and password are the same for My Hawkeye, your Hawkeye email, the network, and Canvas. What is my username and password?
Spam Filter
Hawkeye does not agree to deliver all emails addressed to its users.
All inbound emails for staff and student email accounts are subject to filtering. The goal of filtering is to prevent the distribution of spam, including pornographic and non-pornographic mass mailings.
Filtering is performed with a system automatically set up with rules to detect spam. It is possible emails sent to a Hawkeye email address may be filtered, even if they aren't considered spam if they come from a mail server to known to be used by spammers.
