How to Activate your St. John’s email account and Okta single-sign on

All St. John’s students are assigned a St. John’s e-mail account after they are registered for classes. Your school and professors will contact you at this email address, so it is very important you access check your student email at least once per day. Setting up your account for the first time can take some time, so follow the steps below, and if you have trouble, contact IT at the number or address below.

Your email address: Your email will be in the following format: [email protected] where ‘21’ represents the 2-digit year of entry into St. John’s University. If you were a student at St. John’s before Spring 2021, then your email address will end in the last 2 digits of your first year at St. Johns.
