Access Your Student Email Account
Free student email
If you are a registered student at A-B Tech an email account is provided for you free of charge by A-B Tech and Google. The account is automatically created within one working day after your first registration for summer 2007 or any subsequent term, but you need to log in to the account to activate it.

Email login information
The Username for email is generally first name, middle initial, last name all in lower case. No spaces, hyphens, apostrophes, periods, or suffixes are used. More information about email user ID.
Your email address is Username@students.abtech.edu
Your email password is your student ID number using all seven digits. Be sure to include any leading zeros. You can find your student ID number printed on your registration form under your name.
To activate your email account
When you log into your email account for the first time you will see a graphic image of a group of letters. Type the letters you see in the box below them and then scroll down the screen until you see the Google Terms of Service. Once you have read the terms, click the button labeled “I accept. Create my account.” and your email account will be activated.
Change your email password
A-B Tech recommends that you change your email password after your first login. Here’s how to change your password:
- Click Settings at the top of the email screen.
- Open the Accounts tab after you click Settings.
- Click Change Password.
- In the new window, enter your current password, enter your new password, and re-enter the new password to confirm it.
- Click “Change Password” at the bottom of the window to save your new password.
How a Username is created
Your Username is constructed using your name as it is recorded on A-B Tech’s computer records. Refer to your registration form to see how your name has been recorded.
Your Username is your first name followed by your middle initial followed by your last name. If the middle name or initial is missing then it will be first name followed by last name.
There is a limit of 20 characters on the Username so some of the last characters on a very long name may be missing from the Username.
Spaces, hyphens, periods, apostrophes, and suffixes are not included in the Username.
Examples:
- Samuel Carson (middle name and initial missing): samuelcarson
- Mary Beth Valerie O’Neill (where Mary Beth is a double first name): marybethvoneill
- William Thomas O’Sullivan-Blankenship (hyphenated, apostrophe, longer than 20): williamtosullivanbla
Possible Problems with Username
- In rare cases your first name, middle initial, and last name could exactly match the Username for an existing on-line payment account. In this case numbers may have been added to the end of your Username to give you a unique Username.
- If your name was misspelled during data entry then your Username will also be misspelled.
- If you have recently submitted a name change to Student Services, your Username may be based on your previous name.
