Setting Up Student Emails: Keiser University Android Guide

Keiser University offers a flexible learning approach, allowing students to pursue their educational goals from anywhere with an internet connection. The university provides a dedicated student email account, which is the primary method of communication between instructors and students. This article will provide a step-by-step guide on how to set up your Keiser University student email on your Android device, ensuring you stay connected and engaged with your academic community.

Use login credentials from your admissions counsellor to access your KU email

To set up your KU email on your Android device, you will first need to get your login credentials from your admissions counsellor. These will be your username and password, which you will use to access your KU email account. Once you have these details, you can proceed to set up your email.

Your default KU email address is automatically created when you set up your KU Online ID. It will look something like "[email protected]." If you prefer a more memorable email address, you can create a custom alias through MyIdentity Services.

Now, to access your KU email on your Android device, you have a few options. You can use a web browser and log in to Outlook Office 365, which will allow you to access your email and calendar from anywhere in the world on any internet-enabled device. Alternatively, you can set up your KU email account directly on your Android device.

KU IT recommends using Microsoft Outlook to set up your KU email on your Android device. This will allow you to access your KU email, calendar, and other features seamlessly. The Outlook app is also recommended for connecting your KU email to your mobile device securely.

By following these steps and using the login credentials provided by your admissions counsellor, you'll be able to access your KU email on your Android device easily and stay connected to your university communications.

Set up email verification after your first login

To set up email verification for your Keiser University student email after your first login, follow these steps:

First, log in to your Keiser University student email account on your Android device. Navigate to the settings or options menu within the email app. Look for the "Email Verification" or "Account Settings" option. Here, you should see a setting related to email verification or validation.

Turn on the email verification setting if it is not already enabled. The specific steps may vary depending on the email app you are using. You may need to provide additional permissions or confirm your choice. The email verification feature will now check that the email address is valid and belongs to a real person.

Next, you will need to generate an activation code or link. This unique code or link will be sent to your email address. It serves as a confirmation that the email address is active and capable of receiving messages. Once you receive the activation code or link in your inbox, follow the provided instructions to complete the verification process.

Email verification helps to ensure successful email marketing and improves email deliverability. It prevents issues such as high bounce rates, which can damage your sender reputation and lead to blacklisting. By regularly verifying your email list, you can maintain a healthy mailing list with valid and active email addresses.

Manage multiple email accounts with Edison Mail

Edison Mail is an award-winning email management app that allows you to manage multiple email accounts from different providers in one place. It is available on iOS, Android, and Mac. Edison Mail's unified inbox feature allows you to access, organise, and respond to all your emails from a single, user-friendly interface, eliminating the need to switch between different email apps.

The app supports various email account types, including OnMail, Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, Yahoo, Exchange, AOL, Hotmail, IMAP, and more. To add an account, simply choose your account type and fill out the necessary information.

One of Edison Mail's key features is its AI-based smart assistant, which helps you manage your subscriptions, trips, packages, entertainment, and bills and receipts across your unified inbox. The assistant separates these items, ensuring you never miss anything important. Additionally, the Assistant Widget lets you view your day's events, receive reminders for previous invitations, and access trip destination information.

Edison Mail also includes a Focused Inbox feature, which separates important emails from the rest, helping you focus on what matters and reducing the chances of missing crucial emails. With the app, you can also easily unsubscribe from junk mail, block unwanted senders, bulk delete messages, and automatically block spy pixels that track your email behaviour. Customisation options are also available, such as Dark Mode, snoozing messages, undoing sent mail, and custom swipe quick actions.

Use Outlook365 for your KU student email

Microsoft Outlook is the recommended and supported email client for KU email services for both Windows and Mac. Outlook is already installed on faculty and staff workstations, and students can install it on their personal devices for free through Microsoft Office 365.

To set up your KU student email on the Outlook app, first, download the Microsoft Outlook app from the Google Play Store or the Apple Store. Once the app is installed, open it and add your KU email address (for example, [email protected]). Tap 'Continue' and follow the prompts to sign in to KU's system using your KU Online ID and password. You will then be asked if you would like to add another account; choose 'Maybe Later'. Next, you can choose whether you would like to enable notifications. If you opt for notifications, a message will pop up asking you to 'Allow' Outlook to send you notifications.

You can also access your KU email account on a mobile device by using a browser and logging into Outlook Office 365. When you set up your KU Online ID, your default email address is automatically created and looks something like "[email protected]." You can change your email address to a custom, more memorable address (called an "alias") at MyIdentity Services.

KU IT has implemented security measures to protect your email, including Microsoft Advanced Threat Protection, encryption, and digital signatures. Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) helps protect you from malicious emails and reduces spam. It can prevent unwanted or harmful emails from reaching your inbox and also includes link spoof detection and attachment scanning and quarantine.

Instructors only communicate via KU email

Keiser University provides its students with a Keiser University email account, which is how instructors communicate with students via email. Instructors do not use their personal email accounts for student communication. Therefore, it is important that you set up your Keiser University email on your devices.

To access your Keiser University email, go to https://login.microsoftonline.com/ and log in with your credentials. You will need to set up the verification process the first time you log in. The email sign-in is now a single sign-on for your KU student email, Office 365, Blackboard, and the student portal. This means that when you change your Office 365 password, it will also change the password for the other two resources.

To log in to Keiser University's Blackboard Learn platform, use the same credentials you use to log in to Office 365 and the Keiser student portal. Your username is your full student email address, and your password is your student number.

If you have multiple email accounts, you can use an app like Edison Mail to manage them all in one place. This can save you time and make you more productive, as you can spend less time managing your emails and more time focusing on your studies and other important aspects of student life.
