Shibaura Institute of Technology provides Gmail as your university email service.
Notices from the university and class-related information will be sent to this email account.
Since sending and receiving email is essential for student life, please make sure you are able to use it.

Important: One month after enrollment, you will no longer be able to log in to accounts that do not have two-step verification enabled.

How to Log In to Gmail

Your email address is:
「SIC ID@shibaura-it.ac.jp」
　Example: aa00000@shibaura-it.ac.jp

* If you do not know your SIC ID, please check the email titled “[Shibaura Institute of Technology] Important Notice Regarding Account Setup” which was sent to the email address you registered during your application or enrollment procedures.
