GoogleApps-Only Account

This type of account replaces what was known as "Email Only" accounts and is often used as a point of contact for an office or organization such as "sammyslug@ucsc.edu". Google Apps-Only accounts can be transferred to new owners so contact addresses can remain consistent even across personnel changes.

What is a GoogleApps-Only Account

A GoogleApps-Only account includes Google Email, Calendar, Documents and other Google applications available to UCSC. GoogleApps-Only accounts must have a UCSC faculty or staff sponsor that is responsible for the proper use of the account. This includes the setup of the Google Apps account password, email alias, (nickname if applicable), and delegation so that the password is NOT shared with others. These accounts will go through a periodic audit to validate sponsorship and use.
