Welcome to the WildcatMail system. If you are a current CSU, Chico student, you may initialize your WildcatMail account. Read the instructions below and then click on the initialize link to begin.

1. Be prepared with your social security number and your campus ID card number. This is the 16-digit number on your ID card that begins with 00011.
2. The new page will describe what services will be enabled with your account initialization.
3. Your email account will be ready to use in approximately two hours.

Account Policy: Wildcat/Portal accounts (including email, unix shell access, web pages) are only provided to students during the time period they are enrolled at CSU, Chico. A one semester grace period is offered in case students take an internship or a short break from school.

When you are done, you should have written down your new WildcatMail user ID, memorized your password, and read the acceptable use policy.

You can use your Wildcat/Portal account from any of the campus open access computer labs. If you have a computer at home, you can set it up to access your email and the Internet by dialing in to the CSU, Chico Premium Modem Service.
