As of 2021, Google updated various data storage policies. Those changes coupled with a rise in cybersecurity incidents in higher education have changed what we can enable for alums. Below are the changes being made with the dates.
Email Forwarding
Beginning December 1, 2021, the ability to forward Daemen emails will be disabled. This means that to access your account, you will need to log in via a web browser or supported mail app.
Email (POP & IMAP)
Beginning December 1, 2021, you will be unable to access emails via either the POP or IMAP protocol. This means you will need to log in via a web browser or supported mail app to access your account.
Google Drive
Beginning February 1, 2022 storage limitations will be imposed. A quota will be used to limit the amount of data allowed to be stored within the account. Follow these steps to export contents from your Google Drive.
Google Photos
Beginning February 1, 2022, the ability to use photos will be disabled. Once this is disabled, the ability to get any Photos within your account will be removed. Follow these steps to export contents from your Google Drive.
Email (Apple Mail Users)
Beginning February 2023, for security purposes, access to the Apple Mail app on both iPhones and MacOS, specifically for alum accounts, has been discontinued. On an iPhone, this is simply a matter of installing the Gmail app. On a desktop or laptop, you can do the same on the Apple Store or use your choice of web browser.
Google Email Account
Beginning January 1, 2025, email accounts will be deactivated according to the following schedule for all alums who graduated prior to May 18, 2024.
Beginning January 1, 2025 access to @daemen.edu email for graduates will end one year post-graduation:
- If you graduate in May, your account will be accessible until May 31 of the following year
- If you graduate in September, your account will be accessible until September 30 of the following year.
- If you graduate in January, your account will be accessible until January 31 of the following year.
To facilitate these changes, the following brief extensions are available:
If you graduated on May 18, 2024:
- You will continue to have access to your @daemen.edu email until May 31, 2025.
If you graduated at any time PRIOR to May 18, 2024:
- You will have access to @daemen.edu until May 31, 2025.
If you enroll in courses within these timeframes, your email will remain active until you are no longer enrolled.
