General Information

How do I access the service?

To access Google Apps for Education you must use a combination of your campus username and identikey password. Although Google asks for your “Email”, the system cannot support the use of your first.last@colorado.edu as a username. Instead, you must use username@colorado.edu you log into the service. Once you are in the system you can use your preferred email address (usually first.last@colorado.edu) to share resources.

Can students merge their campus Google Apps account with an existing Google account or Gmail inbox?

No, but there are ways to work within multiple accounts.

How much quota do students get with Drive and Gmail?

Google Apps offers 5GB of storage on Drive and 25GB of storage for Gmail per user, powerful spam filtering and a 99.9% uptime SLA. All hosted by Google - there’s no cost, and no ads for students, faculty or staff

How much storage space does google drive offer?

5 GB

I have a Google Account, but no Gmail. I’m a student, what’s going on?

An early step in the migration to Google Apps is giving all users on campus Google Accounts that offer access to Google collaborative services including Google Drive/Docs, Calendar, Sites, and many more. The migration from CULink to Google is on track, and you should hear more specific dates as the spring term progresses.

Is the backup / restore ability available for Gmail and Docs?

CU-Boulder will not provide backup/restore services for Google Accounts. However, if you are concerned about archiving your data on your own systems, Google offers two services that can help you create back ups and migrate data between services. The Data Liberation Front (managed by Google) will help you extract data from most Google services, including Gmail and Docs, as well as the newly developed Google Takeout service.

What apps are included for faculty and staff?

The core set of Google services includes:

  • Faculty will NOT have access to Gmail in the initial phase of this deployment
  • Google Calendar
  • Contacts
  • Google Talk
  • Google Groups for Business
  • Google Drive
  • Google Sites
What apps are included for students?

The core set of Google services includes:

  • Gmail
  • Google Calendar
  • Contacts
  • Google Talk
  • Google Groups for Business
  • Google Drive
  • Google Sites
Will students have access to other Google Services?

Students will also have limited access to many other Google Applications (other than core applications), although security and legal are still working to determine if students will have access to applications including Google+, Google Books, Google Groups, and many other Google Services.

E-mail

Why can’t Faculty and Staff use Gmail?

The Gmail service, as it is configured for CU Boulder, is not yet in compliance with legal requirements for state employees. OIT is working closely with the campus legal department to add the additional back-end services required for records retention laws and e-discovery requirements.

Is e-mail being migrated from CULink to Gmail?

Yes, e-mail and folders of students, alumni and retirees on CULink will be migrated to Gmail. The migration process cannot migrate e-mail from any other e-mail services, including personal Gmail, Yahoo, or MSN accounts; however, the IT Service Center is able to help students migrate messages on their own from off-campus providers.

How do I migrate my e-mail from CULink to Gmail?

Students with accounts on CULink will be able to use an automatic migration tool to migrate e-mail and folders to Gmail when they choose. Instructions will be sent to all migration-eligible accounts once the migration process is in place.

Alumni and retirees with accounts on CULink will be notified and their accounts administratively moved to Gmail.

What will my e-mail address be?

Your e-mail address will continue to be:

Will forwarding to an alternate address, set up through CULink, remain active?

Yes, although we strongly encourage account owners to consider disabling forwards and using the university-provided Gmail account.

What happens if a student does not opt-in?

At the end of the opt-in phase owners of all remaining CULink accounts will be notified and their accounts administratively moved to Gmail.

What is the attachment size limit for email?

5 GB. You can send attachments within Gmail up to 25 MB, but if you integrate with Google Drive, the limit is the full capacity of your Drive, 5 GB. http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/27/gmail-drive-integration/

After I move to Gmail, will I be able to forward my e-mail to another account if I so choose?

Yes. You are encouraged to use the campus-provided Gmail service, but if you prefer to use a different e-mail service, you should change your e-mail delivery location using CU-Boulder Identity Manager. This will forward your e-mail messages to the account you designate, completely bypassing the campus-provided Gmail service.

Conflicting Accounts

Google says I have a conflicting account. What does this mean?

Previously you had a personal Google account with which you used your @colorado.edu as your username. You must now associate that account with a new username-usually a new @gmail.com email address. You may need to manually migrate (share) Google Documents or Calendars with your new University Google Account. Learn how to address this issue at the Resolve Conflicting Accounts page.

Why wasn’t I notified of the account conflict in advance?

 

Google considers any account NOT created by an organization (such as CU) a personal account, and Google does not share information about your personal accounts. Therefore, even though some campus members previously used @colorado.edu email addresses with Google, there was no way for CU to know whether your account existed, nor whether an account conflict would be created.
 
Additionally, Google’s system does not support automatic data migrations between personal and organizational accounts. With no way to target our communications to impacted users and no technical actions we could take to mitigate this impact, we were forced to support this issue only after you discovered your account conflict. We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience and intend to support our users to the best of our ability.
I had a conflicting account, and now I can’t access my Google Calendar. What do I need to do?

The Google Calendar issue is really just another account conflict issue. Users who want to continue using their Google Calendars will need to share the calendars between their old, transitioned account and there new University Google Apps account.

If you aren't familiar with Google Calendar and how to share calendar, This Google-produced video is a great overview of the various sharing options in Calendar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmU02MRdXtk. If you’d like specific directions on how to share one calendar from your old, transitioned account to your new Google Apps account, please see these instructions: http://support.google.com/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=37082

When signing into my personal Gmail account, I received the message, “Your Account Has Changed...”. What does this mean?

Google/Gmail allows you to associate “secondary” e-mail addresses with your Google Account, for use with Google Drive/Calendar and account verification. This message indicates that your user@colorado.edu e-mail address is no longer associated with your  personal Gmail account. Going forward, to view Google Documents shared with your @colorado.edu e-mail address, you should sign in with your @colorado.edu Google Apps Account.

Google Apps - Known Issues

Conflicting Accounts

  • Issue: Due to the University of Colorado's aggreement with Google, it has gained the right to institutionalize all @colorado.edu accounts. Google had a small window when users could sign up for a personal google account using an @colorado.edu address. Conflicting accounts occur if a user has priorly associated their @colorado.edu email address with Gmail and other Google services.

Google Apps

Overview 

CU-Boulder has partnered with Google in order to offer Google-powered communication and collaboration tools to the campus. Initially, the Google Apps for Education project will focus on moving students (and others) from CULink to Google, and also offer collaboration tools to all campus affiliates. This primary implementation will occur during the Spring 2013 semester, with access to applications being enabled based on affiliation (i.e. student, faculty, staff, retiree, alumni, etc.). To learn more please review the information below.

Students (including confirmed students) can now initiate the migration of their messages and folders from CULink to Gmail. Learn how to migrate your account.

How do I log into my Google Apps account?

To access Google Apps you must use a combination of your CU Login Name and IdentiKey password at https://accounts.google.com/ or any core Google Apps login page.

Benefits
Benefits 
  • Quota: Gmail and Calendar come with a generous email storage capacity--25 gigabytes; that’s more than 120 times the quotas on CULink. Your Drive account will have 5 GB.
  • Collaboration: Apps like Groups, Chat, Drive and Sites might actually make online collaboration more effective than face-to-face. Hey, there’s a master’s thesis for you sociology types.
  • Integration: Google Apps fit with the campus online learning environment, Desire2Learn, like a well-worn pair of leather pants.
  • Everyone on our campus will have a Google Apps account tied to their IdentiKey account; no more guessing if the person on the other end has compatible programs to view, comment and edit your document.

E-mail & Calendaring Direction

Overview 

Beginning in late 2011 and ending in the summer of 2012, a number of campus constituent groups set out to assess the current state of e-mail, calendaring, and collaboration services currently provided to students, faculty and staff, survey the current landscape of service offerings available, and determine the new direction for these services. This page will track progress toward the implementation of the chosen messaging and calendaring services and link to common questions about the services and provide answers about the direction.

Students & Alumni

In the spring of 2012, the undergraduate and graduate student governments surveyed their peers about their preferences for an e-mail and calendaring service to replace CULink and a strong preference for Google Apps for Higher Education emerged. A project is underway to make Google Apps available for students and alumni during the fall 2012 semester.
