Important changes regarding your access to systems after graduation.

Your HC account will continue to work, including files stored in Google Drive,  until July 15 of the year following your graduation.  We recommend that you complete the steps below in advance of discontinuation of your HC Google account.  We highly recommend enabling 2 step verification. Instructions may be found at https://www.google.com/landing/2step/

For more information and  a listing of frequently asked question visit the Alumni Google Account Discontinuation page.

Steps to complete in advance of HC Google account discontinuation: 

  1. Create a personal Google account if you do not already have one.

  2. Update your contact information with the Alumni Office to reflect your personal email account.  Update information.

  3. After graduation: Transfer your Holy Cross Google data into your personal Google account. Use the Google Takeout Transfer feature to import your information. If you have a significant amount of data stored in Google or your Gmail we recommend that you delete older unused files or emails before transferring any data.

  4. If you choose to move your data to a non-Google account, you can still export your data via Google Takeout, but will need to work with your new provider on how to import that data.

You may also request to delete your email account at any time; just send an email to HelpDesk-Request@holycross.edu requesting your account be deleted.
