Former Student Accounts (Lifetime Email)

Good afternoon,

As Miami works to address storage constraints, Miami has communicated to you that your Miami email access and Google Drive files, including photos, will be removed from our domain. Our first step to accomplish that task begins February 8, 2024.

The important news: Starting in February, people you have shared files with will no longer have access to your files.

And again: If you have shared a file from your Google Drive, collaborators will no longer have access after February 8.

Important: The files will not yet be deleted. These files will be removed permanently on April 8, 2024.

This is being done to signal to your collaborators (the folks you have shared files with) that those files are no longer accessible to them. We have instructed the Miami community to reach out to you if they discover they have lost access to something they consider important. You may transfer ownership of files before April 8, 2024, by following these instructions: Make someone else the owner of your file.

Please visit the Alumni Association’s Miami email website for full context about the removal of former student email accounts.

In spring 2023, it was announced that Miami will no longer be able to continue to support MiamiOH.edu email accounts for former students effective April 8, 2024.

You still have plenty of time to make the transition, and we want to make sure that you stay connected to Miami and retain the information connected to your Miami email account.

Do you already have a different email we should use? Let us know by filling out this simple form.

Need to move your data? You can shift your Miami emails and data to a new or existing Gmail account. Follow these simple steps.

Forwarding your MiamiOH.edu email to another email account? The ability to forward that account will go away on April 8, 2024. Simply fill out this form to give us your email address and eliminate the need to forward.

If needed, sign up for a new email account on a new service.Then use the next eight months to change your email on online accounts and save files to your computer. You will have full access to your Miami account until April 8, 2024.

We're here to help.

Hello,

Miami University has seen a lot of changes during its 200-years-plus history, and we know there are countless more to come. One of those changes is coming to the MiamiOH.edu email you currently use. Google, the platform that houses the MiamiOH.edu emails, is eliminating unlimited storage with certain services, and as a result, we will no longer be able to provide Google accounts to our alumni (including Gmail, Drive and Photos storage). We assure you that this decision was not reached lightly.

You will continue to have access to your account until April 8, 2024. We wanted to let you know about this change now so you can come up with a plan for not having your Miami email account.

Since your MiamiOH.edu email is the one we have in our records, we need to update your record with a different email address. Our next email message will include a link to a form where you can easily update your alumni contact information online. But don’t worry, if you are using this email as your primary email account, you have over a year to move to a different email hosting service.

We will be reaching out with further instructions and guides as well, but we wanted to let you know as soon as possible. Thank you for understanding!

Questions, concerns?

Thank you, and Love and Honor!
