An email account @gbcnv.edu is set up automatically for every GBC student. This helps the college to communicate with you and is essential for students receiving financial aid.

Activating Your GBC Email Account

To use your GBC email account, you simply need to activate it. You will need to enter your social security number (if you provided that information on your application for admission) or your GBC student ID number and your birthdate. Once your account is activated, you will be shown your login or username and your email address. You will also be able to reset your password.

Resetting Your Password

If you did not reset your password when activating your account, you can do so any time by logging into SWAMI with your existing user name and password. After logging in, click the Change Password link on the left menu.

Accessing Your GBC Email

Once you've activated your account, you can access email at Fallon Webmail. ("Fallon" is the name of the computer hosting the mail.)

Forwarding Your GBC Email to Another Account

To forward your GBC email to another address (for example, a hotmail or Yahoo address), log into SWAMI, and then select "Change Mail Settings" from the menu at left. Click the button next to "Set Forwarding Address" and fill in the address where you would like your mail forwarded. Finally, submit the form.

Forgot Your Password?

If you forget your password, you'll need to bring a picture ID to the GBC Elko computer lab or the campus nearest you to have your password reset.
