Student Email


Macquarie University provides student email access via the Gmail platform. By using Macquarie University Gmail you are agreeing to comply with the Macquarie University Acceptable Use Policy.

If you are a new student, after you have gone through your First time login process to setup your OneID password, your student email address will be shown to you at the very last step.

If you have forgotten your student email address, you can find it from the Contact Details section within your eStudent.

Login to your email

  1. Go to http://email.mq.edu.au or go to https://gmail.com
  2. Username is your full email address based on your name e.g. firstname.lastname@students.mq.edu.au and
  3. Password is your OneID password

If your email address already exists (i.e. taken up by another students who have the same name), then your email address will contain a unique number at the end of your name e.g firstname.lastname(number)@students.mq.edu.au. You may confirm your email address in eStudent, under the Contact Details section.

I have the correct OneID password, but it does not let me login to my email. Why?

If you are able to login to iLearn and other systems using your OneID password but just can’t login to your student email, then your password has not been sync properly to your email. The only way to solve this problem is to reset your OneID password again from the password change portal. Once you reset your password, you will be able to login to your student email straight away.

I want to login to my student email but it keeps logging into my personal Gmail account, what do I do?

If you have saved your personal Gmail password on your browser, then every time you go to https://gmail.com it will automatically login to your personal Gmail. To login to your student email, you must first sign out of your personal Gmail account.

Follow the steps below to sign in with another account and then sign in with your student email address and your OneID password.
