Alumni Email-only domain (Google Workspace)
Alumni Email-only domain (Google Workspace)
The Google Alumni email domain provides graduating students with an option to request an email-only Google account. This email account will allow graduated students to retain an affiliation to NC State with an email address of "unityid@alumni.ncsu.edu". Eligible students are contacted after graduation with information.
- This is an email-only account; no other services are available (e.g., calendar, Meet, Chat)
- Alumni email accounts have a 2GB quota.
- Email address will be “unityid @ alumni.ncsu.edu”.
- Students should plan on downloading files they wish to keep. Use the Drive interface to locate and download important files or use Google Takeout (takeout.google.com) to create an export of data.
- If you are a current employee, your account is not impacted. In the case that you need to migrate content, be sure that you only select student data and not work related data.
- Students retain access to their student Google account for six months after which time it will be disabled and files deleted.
- If you are an eligible student, visit the NC State Alumni Email app.
- Students who graduate will lose access to their Unity account six months after graduation.
