Access to UW Email and Google Suite Services
Recommendations for ISS Alumni
UW-IT has an email and data retention policy that affects all students and alumni. The information on this page applies to those students who recently graduated from UW’s Integrated Social Sciences BA degree completion program.
What Do I Need to Do?
- Set up UW email forwarding if you would like to retain your UW email address (if you haven’t already);
- Back up emails stored in your UW email account if you would like to retain them;
- Back up any files you have stored in your UW Google Drive;
- Back up your ISS Portfolio if it you kept it in UW Google Sites for your Capstone.
How Do I Save Everything?
Files Stored in Google Drive
-
Export a copy of all your UW GSuite content using Google Takeout
- This will work for students with Classic Google Sites. Those with New Google Sites should see instructions on copying your Site to a personal Google account (below).
- Creating an archive of your UW GSuite content can take a week—give yourself time!
Your ISS Portfolio
- If you’ve already moved your portfolio off of UW Google Sites to another platform, no need to do anything!
-
If you haven’t migrated your portfolio you have several options:
-
