Overview of Changes and Impacts

Alumni

Email Service

 Illinois Tech will no longer be able to host a mailbox for former students. As an alumnus, you may choose to keep your Illinois Tech email address by opting in by completing our email forwarding form. This service lets you point your Illinois Tech email address to a personal, non-Illinois Tech email account. Email sent to your Illinois Tech email address will be automatically forwarded to your designated, personal mailbox. Illinois Tech will not hold a copy of these emails; emails are simply redirected to your personal mailbox without resting in a Illinois Tech hosted mailbox.

File Storage

Files stored on your Illinois Tech Google Workspace account (e.g., data in Drive, emails in Gmail) need to be exported if you wish to keep your data. The Google Takeout tool lets you download a copy, or you may transfer the data to a personal Google account using the transfer tool.  Takeout will generate a .zip file that you can move to a personal storage solution (e.g., a local disk or your non-Illinois Tech Google account), while a transfer moves your data directly into another Google account.
