Send as your Wharton Short Address from your Personal Gmail (Students)

This article will provide instructions on how to send as your Wharton Gmail short address (PennKey@wharton.upenn.edu) from your personal Gmail account.

Before You Start 

You will need the following before you can complete this task: 

  • An active PennKey account
  • An active Wharton account
  • A personal Gmail account
  • Two-Step Verification enabled for your Google@Wharton 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)

This only works for students with an active Wharton account because Google requires authentication to an active account.  After you graduate and your Wharton email account is closed, this option will no longer work.
