This article covers how faculty, staff, and students can set up their UConn Google Workspace account for the first time. By setting up an account, you gain access to services such as Calendar, Classroom, Drive and Docs, Gmail, and Hangouts.
All new accounts are created in Outlook. This article is only relevant for current students and faculty who have not had their data migrated yet. Learn more: Microsoft Outlook

Faculty and staff
The creation of new Google accounts for faculty and staff was retired in 2023. Staff accounts have had their data migrated and closed and faculty accounts will be transferred later in summer 2024.
