  • All Students Should Switch Email to UIC Gmail Account

    Nov 21, 2014 6:45 am113 views

    Over the past few weeks, ACCC has been contacting students to change their email accounts to comply with the new UIC email policy.

    The new email policy requires all students to retrieve their "@uic.edu" email via UIC Gmail (gmail.uic.edu).

    Previously, students were allowed to route messages sent to their "@uic.edu" address to non-UIC email services such as Yahoo, Hotmail, and personal Gmail accounts. By requiring all students to use UIC Gmail for campus email, we can provide better, more reliable service and ensure that email is delivered.

    We understand that this change is an inconvenience, and so we have extended the deadline for changing email routing. Students who have not yet updated their email accounts will continue to be contacted by email. In the meantime, students can check to see if they need to update their settings and complete the update by logging into our UIC Gmail migration page:http://SwitchToUICGmail.uic.edu .

    For more information about this change, please look at the NEWS section of the ACCC web site for the item, "Disabling off-campus email routing for students" or visit http://go.uic.edu/UICGmailNews .

    If you have questions or need help making these changes, please contact our helpdesk at consult@uic.edu or 312-413-0003.
