Other Questions

I already have a non-Uni account with Gmail. Can I use my existing Gmail user name and password?

No. The Gmail account you will be provided with as part of the Google Applications implementation is a University account and is therefore separate from your personal Gmail account. You may be able to set up a rule to forward your university emails to your personal Gmail account. Tutorials will guide you through this process.

I am a dual role student, and have been or am employed by the University. Can I sign up?

Dual role students are somewhat special and fall in the following categories:

• Students who may be or have been employed by the University
• Staff who may also be studying

By the implementation of Google Apps, the University has effectively separated staff and student email services and this will result in the requirement to manage two inboxes if you are a student/staff profile and you decide to sign up to Google Apps.
