On the CWI website, look for the "Log In" dropdown on the top right and move your mouse over it to view your options. Choose "Student Email."

 

Once you are in your student email, look in the top left of the browser and find the "New mail" button.

 

Clicking "New mail" should open a new, blank email. There are 5 places to pay attention to:

  1. "To" is where you will put the email address of the person you want to reach.
  2. "Cc" will also send a version of this email to another person's email address. For example, you may want to send the email to your instructor but also have your advisor see the email.
  3. "Subject" is where you will give a quick description about the email. Try to balance providing enough information without letting it get too long.
  4. This is where you will type the actual email out. See the next image for an example of how to write an email.
  5. "Send" will send the email to the person or people you put in the "To" and "Cc" fields. Make sure to proofread before pressing this button!

Here, you can see an example of what an email might look like with all of those fields filled out:

Email is one of the primary ways to communicate with instructors, advisors, and others on campus, so do your best to master this skill! If you still feel unsure, try finding someone to practice sending emails to.
