Email - Student

The Email tool allows you to send emails to users in your courses from within the Learning Environment to someone's @uwaterloo.ca email address. No incoming messages are received in Waterloo LEARN, so you do not have an email Inbox in LEARN; these emails are redirected to your uWaterloo email address for you.
