USF CS students are given a cs email account. You should forward that email to your regular email if you don't want to periodically check it.

You can check your cs email directly at: https://mail.cs.usfca.edu/webmail/src/login.php

Forwarding

Using a text editor, open a file called .forward in your home directory. Don't forget the '.'

Enter the email address where you want your mail forwarded (e.g., your dons or gmail account). This may be the only line in the file. Save.
