Find out more about Jacobs School of Engineering's transition from eng.ucsd.edu to ucsd.edu Google accounts.
What is happening?
Due to Google licensing changes, Jacobs School of Engineering is working towards evacuating the eng.ucsd.edu Google domain, and switching to using ucsd.edu Google accounts, located in the primary campus Google domain
Project notifications will come from google-transition@eng.ucsd.edu, to all Project users (users involved in the current Project wave)
When is this happening?
OEC is working with Jacobs School of Engineering Departments on departmental-level Project waves throughout 2023.
Project Wave Timelines:

- Wednesday, April 12, ~7 p.m. - Dean's Office Project users’ Email Cutover - work done by OEC

What will users experience on the morning of their email transition?
- Project users should open a new Google Chrome Profile, and sign in using ADusername@ucsd.edu - this will redirect them to campus SSO to authenticate
- Project users’ username@eng.ucsd.edu Google account will be renamed to archive-username@eng.ucsd.edu
- All new email sent to @ucsd.edu, @eng.ucsd.edu, and other vanity email domains managed by OEC will be delivered to the Project user’s new @ucsd.edu Google mailbox
- Mail can be accessed via https://gmail.ucsd.edu, or any Google URL that points to Gmail, such as https://gmail.com, https://mail.google.com
- Phones and Email clients will need to be configured to connect to the new account
