Email and Google Workspace

Oberlin uses Google Workspace to power its email and provide online tools and services like Calendar, Drive, and Hangouts.

Email

Your primary Oberlin email address is ObieID@oberlin.edu. To log in, go to gmail.com and enter this address—don’t forget the @oberlin.edu part—and your ObieID password.

Remember that you’ll need to set a password of your choice before checking your email for the first time. Didn’t do that yet? Go to okta.oberlin.edu and follow the onscreen instructions to establish a password.

Firstname.Lastname Alias

Oberlin College account holders whose accounts were created before February 2, 2022 were also assigned an alias in the form of firstname.lastname@oberlin.edu. Account holders whose accounts were created on or after February 2, 2022 do not have a firstname.lastname@oberlin.edu alias.
