Reminder of Conversion to Google Apps:

More than 2,800 ACC employees already have made the change to GoogleApps.  By May 4, all ACC faculty and staff must make the conversion. We encourage all faculty and staff to take some time as soon as possible during the month of April to make this change and avoid the end-of-semester rush.

Background Information:

In November 2010, ACC’s Information Technology Department (IT) began notifying ACC faculty and staff of the college’s conversion to Google Apps for Education. In January 2011, all ACC employees were offered the opportunity to begin the conversion process with the goal of moving all college employees by the end of the spring semester 2011. IT has offered a series of workshops on each campus to explain the advantages for the conversion and instructions on how to get started. Both of these workshops are now available on-line, and may be viewed for professional development credit.

Making the Conversion to Google Apps:

In several emails and President’s Announcements over the course of the semester, IT has invited faculty and staff to make the conversion to the new email system. Making the change is easy. Converting your account takes only minutes. If you have an extensive collection of older messages to upload to Google, IT has technicians ready to assist. Just go to the Instructions for conversion page and follow the instructions. There are Campus Experts at each location who have volunteered to assist you. If you have other questions, the Help Desk (223-4357) can work with you to answer them.

Visit the ACC Google Apps Website for a wide-ranging set of FAQS, training, and other resources.

As a reminder, current faculty and staff email addresses will not change. ACC students and other contacts outside the college will not be affected by this upgrade.
