@u.northwestern.edu Overview
Northwestern University has partnered with Google to deliver enhanced collaboration services to all eligible Northwestern students.
The Google Apps for Education partnership enables the collaborative student use of Gmail, Calendaring, Instant Messaging, Google Sites, and Google Docs, Spreadsheets, and Presentations.
When students activate @u.northwestern.edu accounts, they have 21 days to transfer information from any existing accounts to @u.northwestern.edu accounts. Information in old accounts — along with the casbah, hecky, lulu, or merle mailbox itself — will then be deleted. Please note that because e-mail addresses (e.g., j-wildcat@northwestern.edu) will not be deleted, mail sent to centrally provided Northwestern addresses will continue to be delivered to students who make the @u.northwestern.edu transition.
Why Google Apps for Education?
Google's robust educational tools, designed specifically for universities, improve the quality of Northwestern student collaboration services:
- Increased e-mail storage - multiple GB and growing
- Improved service quality with calendaring, instant messaging, and documents, spreadsheet, and presentation applications
