What about Google? If you graduated between 2012 and Spring 2024, your UConn email was in Google Workspace. In Summer 2024, UConn migrated from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 for all active students and employees. Previously, alumni retained access to their UConn Google Workspace mailbox and data after they graduated. We could extend this access because Google offered educational institutions free and unlimited storage. This changed in 2022 when Google unilaterally changed their terms and conditions and moved to a fee-based model. This change, in addition to ongoing issues with offering two similar platforms, prompted the University to move Google Workspace services to Microsoft 365. Any data that was previously stored a Google Workspace account is no longer accessible and unrecoverable. |
Microsoft 365
You will lose access to all 365 apps (Word, Excel, OneDrive, etc.) when you graduate. After graduating, you will receive an email with a timeline of how long you have access to your OneDrive in order to download files you wish to keep. ITS recommends you browse your files and download files/take note of files you wish to keep before your graduation.
