What is UC3M e-mail?

Universidad Carlos III de Madrid provides you with an email account for academic and personal use.

Your email address is composed of your Student Identification Number or NIA (100xxxxxx) that we have already sent you by email, followed by @alumnos.uc3m.es.

An example would be 100123456@alumnos.uc3m.es.

What is the UC3M e-mail and NIA for?

It is very important that your email account is active because you will need your NIA and password for online registration. We recommend you to have it up to date, as your professors and the administrative services of the university will contact you through this channel.

In addition, with your UC3M email and your NIA you will be able to access all university services, such as the Aula Global, the online enrollment application, library loans, study room rentals, cultural and sports activities reservations, and many more!

You will also be able to access Google's suite of applications, having unlimited storage in Google Drive.
