How To Unsubscribe From College Emails - Website

  • 🟡 Difficulty: Medium
  • 🟢 Efficiency: High
  • 🔴 Automatically Bulk Delete Old College Emails: No

If you have recently taken SATs or PSATs, your email address has been shared through College Board's Student Search Service. To stop receiving emails from the colleges you’re not interested in, follow these steps:

  1. Go to your College Board account and log in
  2. Click on the “My information” or “My settings” section
  3. Select “Student Search Service” or “Communication Preferences”
  4. Toggle off the emails that you don’t want to receive any more
  5. Save your preferences

There is a downside to this option. All the emails that you don’t want are still cluttering your inbox and will have to be individually deleted. Option 3 saves a lot of time by bulk deleting old emails every time you unsubscribe from a sender.

How To Unsubscribe From College Emails From Your Email App

  • 🟡 Difficulty: Medium
  • 🔴 Efficiency: Low
  • 🔴 Automatically Bulk Delete Old College Emails: No

Another way to stop college emails is to unsubscribe using your email app. Simply follow these steps:

  1. Search for emails sent by colleges you’re not interested in
  2. Click on the unsubscribe button that is hidden at the end of the emails
  3. Choose the emails you want to unsubscribe from
  4. Repeat until everything is done

If the number of colleges that are emailing you is too high, this option might be too time consuming. Plus, spam emails can hide malicious links, so unsubscribing directly from your email can be a security risk.

Unfortunately, this method won’t bulk delete old college emails. But the next method will!
