The University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) is retiring its Google system for student & alumni email.  Since 2018, UMB students receive a Microsoft 365 account for student email.

The automatic move of targeted UMB Google email addresses to UMB Microsoft 365 has begun. These moves are expected to complete by Thursday, June 19, 2025.

After the completion date & time, please first visit the UMB account management website to activate your UMB Microsoft 365 account. Once activated, you can access your UMB Microsoft 365 email by logging in to https://portal.office.com, clicking Apps on the left, and selecting Outlook.

Automatic forwarding of email in the UMB Google environment was disabled on June 17, 2025 to enhance the security of UMB email accounts. More information is available here: https://www.umaryland.edu/cits/departments-leadership-and-committees/it-security-and-compliance/security-awareness/changes-to-auto-forwarding-of-emails/

Access to UMB Google will be disabled the week of June 23, 2025. Please download any data you wish to keep by this date.

If you need any assistance, please contact the UMB Help Desk at help@umaryland.edu or 410-706-HELP (4357).

Third-Party Website Login

If you used your UMB Google account as a login to another website, this will no longer work after all UMB Google accounts are disabled.  Please update your login with those websites beforehand.  Any websites automatically prompting you to log in using Google and listing your UMB Google account as an option may be impacted.

If you used your UMB Google email address to sign up for an account or service with a third-party company, you either need to update your email address with that company to a personal email address or ensure you take action to retain access to your UMB student/alumni email address. Failure to do so may result in you losing access to that company’s services or losing your account’s history with the company, such as purchase or support history.
