If you are a member of one of the following groups, use these instructions to activate your student collaboration (G Suite) account. This applies to @u.northwestern.edu, @alum.northwestern.edu, @kelloggalumni.northwestern.edu, and @fsm.northwestern.edu accounts.
Students
All students (
except Kellogg, Pritzker and Feinberg students) use G Suite accounts for email, calendaring, and collaboration. You should have activated your G Suite account as part of your NetID activation process. Otherwise, you can activate it at
https://umail.northwestern.edu/activate.
If you have an existing G Suite account and you need to create a different account, contact the Northwestern IT Support Center at
servicedesk@northwestern.edu.
Alumni
If you don’t already have a G Suite account from your days as a student, you can create and manage your @alum.northwestern.edu or @kelloggalumni.northwestern.edu account at
https://umail.northwestern.edu/alum.
If you already have a G Suite account, you can continue to use it, or you can choose to delete your existing account and create an @alum.northwestern.edu or @kelloggalumni.northwestern.edu account.
Note: Before you can create an alumni email account, you first need to delete your existing account, which will delete all of the data within it.
Note: You must
manually download any content/contacts that you would like to retain before activating your @alum.northwestern.edu or @kelloggalumni.northwestern.edu account. Deleting your existing account will delete all of the data within it.
