Zimbra Student E-mail

Zimbra is the e-mail system for all Richland students and is activated when you enroll at Richland. The username and password login for Zimbra are the same used to log into Canvas and the myRichland Portal. A link to log into Zimbra can be found on the myRichland portal page, in the right-side column.

Zimbra e-mail works like a regular e-mail account and should be used for:

all official Richland communications
contacting your instructor that doesn't use Canvas
contacting your instructor if you're having problems and can't get Canvas to work right
contacting other Richland students, staff, and/or administration not in Canvas
e-mailing people outside Richland
