As you probably know, most online services at Clark now require an activated student Gmail account.  Beginning Summer quarter 2011, all student Moodle accounts automatically have your student Gmail address entered by default and the email address field will no longer be changeable.  This means you must activate your student email account in order to receive forgotten password reset notices and email messages from your instructors, an important mode of communication in an online class.  If you prefer to use another email account to read your mail, you can set up forwarding in your student Gmail account… Step-by-step instructions to set up forwarding are found on page 7 of Student Email How-To (pdf).

To make sure you’re ready for the first day of class, check out your student Gmail account and get it set up and ready to go…

Another change to Moodle over the summer of 2010 was the adoption of the new student usernames to match your computer lab logins and Gmail accounts… For more information about that change read MoodleMorphosis.
