Is the Opt-In to G Suite mandatory?
Yes. You don't have to opt in today but we'd like you to opt in before July 31st. The older systems (Webmail and Outlook Web Access (OWA)) will not be available after 12/22/17.
Will my @nmu.edu account be available for life?
No. NMU's current policy is undergraduate students keep their NMU email access for 1 year after they are no longer students. Graduate students keep their NMU email access. This access does not include NMU network Internet acess which is terminated shortly after you are no longer a student.
However, you may be able to sign up for an @alumni.nmu.edu account using the "Free E-mail for Life" link under the "Programs & Services" section of the http://www.nmu.edu/alumniassociation website. These are also gmail accounts with similar access and features to the NMU G Suite accounts. You can also copy content from your @nmu.edu G Suite account to your @alumni.nmu.edu G Suite or other account by using the instructions at "Copy content from your school account to another account" in Google Help.
Can I change my name displayed on by NMU G Suite account?
No, but you can change the way your name is displayed when others get mail from you. See NMU G Suite account name changes

How can I move by old NMU email messages to NMU gmail?
OPTION 1
You could access your old NMU email using https://webmail.nmu.edu and forward messages you want to keep on NMU gmail to your UserID@nmu.edu address after you Opt-In to G Suite.
OPTION 2
The instructions below only import messages from the Inbox of your @nmu.edu account and don't include items in your Sent folder or other folders you may have in SquirrelMail or RoundCube. There is no easy way to move all your old NMU email messages to NMU gmail. You could access your old NMU email using https://webmail.nmu.edu and forward messages you want to keep on NMU gmail to your UserID@nmu.edu address. After you Opt-In to G Suite, the messages will be delivered to the NMU gmail account.
