Student GroupWise Email

Students in GVSD are now able to have and use their own email accounts through the division's GroupWise email system.

Students can access GroupWise by going to the GVSD Website at: http://www.gvsd.mb.ca/ and clicking on the Novell GroupWise icon on the right.

- These are global email accounts the students can use internally and externally.

- To login they will use their student number as their user name and the random password that was supplied.

- I recommend they change their password immediately to something more secure by selecting options then entering in the required information

- To send a message to a student you must type in their student number @edu.gvsd.ca (eg. 000123@edu.gvsd.ca)

- You could also select address book from the tab, make sure it says groupwise address book, and change the search criteria to first name, type in their first name and select search

- Once the list appears check off the name you want and select the "To" button at the top, the name will appear on the right hand side, select mail and a new mail message will appear

- Please inform the students how they can send messages as well as they will not be familiar with the groupwise program

- Email messages are restricted to a total size of 10MB and their total mailbox sizes are restricted to 100MB.

If you have any questions please contact me and I'll try to help the best I can. If an account doesn't work please contact Lisa Hamm so she can fix the problem.
