Last Modified on 06/23/2020 4:48 pm EDT
This article will provide instructions on how to send as your Wharton Gmail short address (username@wharton.upenn.edu) from your personal Gmail account.
Please make sure that your personal email account is hosted by google and not any other organization (i.e. your personal email should end with @gmail.com)
Before You Start
You may need one or more of the following before you can complete this task:
- An active Pennkey account
- An active Wharton account
- A personal Gmail account
Note: This will only work for students with an active Wharton account because Google requires authentication to an active account. Once you have graduated and your Wharton email account has been closed, this option will no longer work.
