Carl Sandburg College is pleased to provide the latest technology for its students.

Student Email Account

Students access their student email by logging into mySandburg and using the link provided at the top of the page. Every Sandburg student will be assigned their own student email account using the following format: username@student.sandburg.edu. It is very important for students to monitor and check their Sandburg email account. This is where the College sends important information about your grades, schedule and midterm warnings. It is also where your instructors send you important messages and reminders about your courses.

The Tech Help desk is located in the Library. Normal hours are posted on the College website and outside of the library entrance.
