UCSC Google Apps for Prior Students

Slug G Suite allows UC Santa Cruz students to keep their UCSC Google Apps services after they leave our campus. This includes access to their @ucsc.edu email account, Google Drive, Calendar, Groups, Sites and more. In addition, UCSC Google accounts for some prior students and alumni have been restored. See the Slug G Suite Eligibility section below for details.

The expansion of UCSC Google Apps services improves our campus’s ability to engage with prior students regardless of their graduation status, streamlines our communication and outreach efforts to alumni and those wishing to return to UCSC, and offers an enhanced user experience by simplifying access to these frequently-requested services.

 

Slug G Suite Eligibility

All Slug G Suite users are required to adhere to UCSC policies. Misuse may result in the loss of access privileges and/or criminal prosecution under applicable statutes.

Students and alumni that left UCSC in fall 2018 or later have uninterrupted access to their current UCSC email and Google Apps account.

Students and alumni who left UC Santa Cruz before fall 2018 and had a UCSC Google account have restored access to their Google Apps and email services as of November 14, 2019. ITS and Alumni Engagement will collaborate to reach out to as many of these prior students as possible throughout 2020.

All prior students who had a UCSC Google account have had that access automatically restored on November 14, 2019.

 

I attended UC Santa Cruz before Google accounts were issued (CATS email or CruzMail). Will my account access will be restored?

CATS and CruzMail accounts can not be restored. Prior students who never had a UCSC Google account are not eligible for a Slug G Suite account.
