From 2016 all other registered students of the NWU are assigned a NWU Gmail email address.
The format of the NWU Gmail email address is studentnumber@student.g.nwu.ac.za (e.g. 12345678@student.g.nwu.ac.za).
The NWU Gmail email address is only active as long as the student is affiliated with the NWU and provides a student access to the Google suite of applications (unlimited mail and cloud storage as well as other Google apps).
