What happens when I transfer my account?

When you transfer your account all of your data will be migrated into UFs Google tenant. Subsequent logins will use the UF login (login.ufl.edu).

What happens if I decline to transfer my account?

Instructions for declining G Suite

If you choose to not migrate your account, when Google becomes generally available for UF a new account will be created for you. On your next sign-in you will be prompted to change the e-mail address associated with your person @ufl.edu account. You have three options:

1. Rename the @ufl.edu account with a new Gmail address (username@gmail.com)
2. Rename the @ufl.edu account with a non-Gmail address that you already own
3. Sign in with a temporary usernameusername%ufl.edu@gtempaccount.com

• If you choose this option you will be prompted to rename the account every time you sign-in.

I have a Google account under username@department.ufl.edu, how do I migrate this data?

We are only supporting the transfer of @ufl.edu accounts into UFs Google tenant. 

I have a Google account with a primary address of username@department.ufl.edu with an alias of username@ufl.edu, can I migrate my data?

Yes.
