Opt-in to UConn Email Through Google"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>UConn students can now abandon the unpopular HuskyMail system and opt-in to get all their UConn email and other apps through Google by visiting <a href=\"http:\/\/google.uconn.edu\/\">http:\/\/google.uconn.edu<\/a>. Students must opt-in, as the switchover will not happen automatically.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to getting all UConn email through Google, students will also have access to Google\u2019s document sharing, calendar, chat, and voice-dialing apps.<\/p>\n<p>Two of the most commonly heard complaints about the HuskyMail system were that there wasn\u2019t enough storage capacity (50 megabytes) and the web interface was antiquated. Using Google will solve both, by providing 25 gigabytes of storage and a modern interface.<\/p>\n<p>According to UITS, the University will have \u201cownership\u201d of the data, ensuring that the privacy of students will be protected and that Google will not be able to conduct \u201cdata mining\u201d on student accounts. Ads also will not appear.<\/p>\n<p>The new Google applications are available only to students; faculty and staff use a different email system.<\/p>\n<p>Any student who runs into a problem while opting-in or using the new system should contact the UITS Help Desk at 860-486-4357 or <a href=\"mailto:helpcenter@uconn.edu\">helpcenter@uconn.edu<\/a>. Students can also contact HuskyTech at 860-486-4087 or <a href=\"mailto:huskytech@uconn.edu\">huskytech@uconn.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Students must opt-in to be able to use Google Apps offered by the University.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":46035,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_crdt_document":"","wds_primary_category":0,"wds_primary_series":0,"wds_primary_attribution":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,2234],"tags":[],"magazine-issues":[],"coauthors":[39],"class_list":["post-46370","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","category-university-life"],"pp_statuses_selecting_workflow":false,"pp_workflow_action":"current","pp_status_selection":"publish","acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-05-11 05:37:17","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46370","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46370"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46370\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":200736,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46370\/revisions\/200736"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/media\/46035"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46370"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46370"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46370"},{"taxonomy":"magazine-issue","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/magazine-issues?post=46370"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=46370"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
