To be as successful as possible, check your ISU email frequently. Official University communication is sent to your ISU email address. If you don't check your ISU email, you'll miss out on critical information that you need to succeed as a student. It's recommended that you check your email every day, and more often as necessary.
If you already have another email account and you'd like to keep using it instead of your ISU account, you must set up forwarding so that you will receive your important mail. Go to http://google.isu.edu to find out how. However, consider making your ISU email your primary address. Your account is good for life, and it comes with many helpful features that will make life as a student easier.
