Google Gmail

What Is It?

This Google-powered email service was automatically provisioned for all students who joined UIC prior to July 13, 2022. UIC announced a transition from Gmail to Microsoft Exchange and new students, faculty, and staff are not eligible for UIC Gmail.

Gmail can be accessed via the web client or desktop and mobile native clients. Gmail is part of Google Workspace.

Features

• Organized inbox – Social and promotional messages are sorted into categories so you can read messages from friends and family first
• Less spam – Gmail blocks spam before it hits your inbox to keep your account safe and clutter-free
• Unlimited storage – You won’t need to delete messages to save space

Requirements

• A valid UIC NetID and common password are required to authenticate to UIC Gmail. You must create your UIC Google Workspace account before you can use UIC Gmail.
• Before you can access UIC Gmail features from a desktop or mobile email or calendar application, you must reset your password in order to propagate it to Google.
• Service is contingent upon current relationship with UIC through class registration, employment, or other valid affiliation. Upon leaving UIC, a grace period is in effect for all services accessed with a UIC NetID and common password. At the end of the grace period access to services (including email accounts and email forwarding) is terminated. We recommend that students, faculty and staff leaving UIC download or migrate their email, calendars and documents prior to the end of the grace period.
