What is my email address?
The convention for student emails is your first name (dot) your last name, followed by @email.kpu.ca, with some variation to account for users sharing the same name.
You can login to email.kpu.ca and confirm your email address by clicking on the avatar in the top right corner of the screen.
What is the email service provider?
Student email accounts are provided by Microsoft (Office 365).
Where is my information stored?
Your information is stored on Microsoft's Canadian servers.
