How to Forward Your CBC Email to Your Personal Email

These steps are for use by CBC students only. Faculty and staff must solely use their @columbiabasin.edu email account to conduct college business.

If you prefer to receive your student email on your personal (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.) email account, you can set up email forwarding. This guide is for students only who wish to forward their student email. Follow the steps below to forward your CBC email to your personal account:

  1. Log in to your email at https://outlook.office.com/ using your CBC credentials (username@students.columbiabasin.edu). Setting up email forwarding is not possible with the mobile app.
  2. Once you're logged in, click the gear icon on the top right corner to bring up the settings panel.

  3. Find the "Forwarding" section under "Mail". Toggle "Enable forwarding" on, then enter the personal email you'd like to forward to. Select "Keep a copy of forwarded messages" so that you can still access emails in your student account if needed.
