Complete and submit the Sponsored Student Accounts-UMD Gmail request form. A faculty/staff sponsor may request a faculty/staff UMD Google account for students who have access to sensitive data or conduct duties that require faculty/staff UMD Google access. This account is to be used solely for the sponsored duties, and the student will lose access when the sponsorship is terminated. For more information, see What do I do section in the UMD Email Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) article.
Graduate students receive UMD Google accounts automatically. The UMD Google Account will be terminated a year after the student is no longer registered for classes or has Graduated. Graduate students also receive a TERPmail for personal use. They will keep access to the TERPmail for life after they graduate as long as they were awarded a degree.
NOTE: Mail forwarding is set to the newly sponsored account. The student may need to update notifications in ELMS to ensure course communications are delivered to their TERPmail email. Otherwise, it will go to their sponsored staff email account.
If the students are no longer employed, sponsors should make a request to the Service Desk to remove the sponsorship flag and update the mail forward correctly. Their email address will automatically be set back to DirectoryID@terpmail.umd.edu.
