Your E-MAIl is Changing - MORE Information
We will be upgrading our Student Email system on September 22nd. Your email address will not change, but the new system will be powered by Google, and will provide Gmail to all Virginia's Community College students. The new system will also include a suite of other Google products that will enable you to better communicate, share, and collaborate.
What do I need to do?
Nothing for now. Your email address won't change, and you'll still have all your old messages. Once we turn on your new Google-powered account, you’ll be able to search and access all your mail from any internet-connected computer as before.
If you are receiving this email because it is forwarded from our current email system, please be aware that your forwarding setting will not be brought over to the new system. If you wish to continue to forward your email, you will have to set it up in the new system.
In addition, please be aware that filters and address books will not be transferred to the new system.
What will I get?
- Gigabytes of email storage.
- Instant messaging from right within your mailbox.
- Google Calendar to schedule meetings, create events, and share calendars with others.
- Google Docs to create and share documents, spreadsheets and presentations online.
- Your own personalized Start Page, where you can access all these services.
- Access to your information from anywhere with an internet connection. You can also access your email with a mobile device.
Where can I go for more info?
You can check out the Google Apps Help Center at http://www.google.com/support/a/users or watch video presentations below.
Sincerely,
VCCS Information Technology Services
