RMIT provides all students with a free email account upon enrolment. It's your responsibility to check your email regularly.

Important: RMIT is required to remove your access to all student systems when you are no longer a student in order to comply with our obligations under the Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Act 1979. Please be aware that this means that you will not be able to access your RMIT student email account and any emails within this account when you are no longer enrolled.

Logging in

The University’s email provider is Microsoft Outlook. Access your RMIT email account via outlook.office.com. 

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is required when accessing Outlook Email. Find out how to set up MFA.

Your login details

To log in to your email account, use your email address and RMIT systems password.

Email address

Your email is your student ID followed by @student.rmit.edu.au

For example: s1234567@student.rmit.edu.au

Password

Use the password you created via RMIT ID and password.

Email alias 

Your email alias is the name version of your email address. For example,  joe.smith@student.rmit.edu.au 

Your email alias is automatically created from your RMIT student record. From early November 2022, your email alias is created from your preferred name details once you’ve updated these in Enrolment Online (except for students from RMIT Online). If you haven't registered a preferred name, it is created from your legal name. 

Reminder: use your email address (not your email alias) when logging into Microsoft 365 applications such as Outlook Email and other RMIT systems and services that use email address for authentication.

Multi-factor authentication

Multi-factor authentication is required when accessing Microsoft 365 applications, including Outlook Email (RMIT student and staff email inboxes). 

Find out how to set up MFA to access your RMIT email inbox.
