UW-Madison Google Workspace - Former student eligibility policy and timeline
Students who leave or graduate from UW-Madison no longer have continued* access to the UW-Madison Google Workspace service. Individuals who graduate or leave UW-Madison will lose access to the UW-Madison Google Workspace account and its files 9 months after leaving the university.
Please note: The scope and timeline of the changes detailed below are subject to change in response to campus needs and/or vendor-driven changes.
The updated eligibility timeline affects the following IT service:
-
NetID@wisc.edu access to the UW-Madison Google Workspace service
Your university status has changed due to the following:
-
You completed your degree program and graduated from the university
or
-
You are no longer admitted or enrolled as a student with the university
Because your university affiliation changed, your eligibility for UW-Madison Google Workspace will also change. You will have access to the UW-Madison Google Workspace service for a 9-month** grace period after graduating or leaving the university. This grace period is designed to give you time to backup your files and data to a non UW-Madison account. After the 9-month grace period ends**, you will no longer have access to the UW-Madison Google Workspace service.
