No. But if you choose not to use the college’s email system, you still need to login to the college email to enter your forwarding address (Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.) at least once. If you are an existing college email user on May 22, 2010, your forwarding information moves automatically to the new system.
However, we hope you'll consider using Live@edu mail. The new mail system has some benefits that other services do not: (1) It identifies you as a student of the South Orange County Community College District. This is sometimes important, such as when communicating with course instructors who must be sure you are the person you say you are when discussing your grades or other protected information. (2) The collaboration features on Live@edu will facilitate group projects for classes and student organizations, (3) the other features are comparable or better than what other free mail services provide.
