Loopmail

Loopmail is the official student email of Columbia. All official Columbia email communications will be delivered via Loopmail; so it is important that students check their account regularly or forward it to an account they will check regularly. Registration information, billing information, financial aid information, an all-student newsletter, and several targeted newsletters are available for students to receive each month. This information is all found in the Loopmail inbox. Check it.
