I want a Google Workspace account. How do I sign up?
Your account will automatically be activated. To access your account, go to https://drive.google.com/a/ucdavis.edu.
I already have a UC Davis Google Workspace account. Where do I log in?
To access your Google Workspace account, go to https://drive.google.com/a/ucdavis.edu and enter your CAS/Kerberos username and password.
What if I already have a non-UC Davis Google account or Gmail account?
Creating a UC Davis Google Apps account will not affect an existing personal Google or Gmail account, unless the personal Google account was created with your @ucdavis.edu email address. If a user had established, prior to the roll-out, a personal Google account using their ucdavis.edu email address, they will now encounter an account conflict. In these cases, the user now has two accounts - the personal Google account and the UC Davis Google account. Users can resolve this conflict by following the steps in the Conflicting Accounts knowledge base article.
Google offers tools for moving data between accounts. Further information on data migration options can be found here:
Additionally, users may find the Conflicting Accounts troubleshooter helpful.
I work for the UC Davis Health System. Can I sign up for Google Apps?
No. Because of the transmission of sensitive data related to HIPAA, it is against University of California policy for the UC Davis Health System to use Google Apps. You can contact the TOC and UCDH Compliance for more information.
Do temporary affiliates also get Google Workspace accounts?
Yes, all qualifying computing accounts will receive Google Workspace accounts once the account is created. Davismail is not available.
Don't students already have Google Workspace, including Gmail?
Yes. Undergraduate Students and some graduate/professional students use DavisMail, which is based on Gmail and includes most Google Apps.
Do students, faculty, and staff have access to the same Google Apps?
Yes, except that only eligible students have the UC Davis version of Gmail (aka DavisMail). Departments selecting DavisMail with assistance from Local IT for their email service will have the same access and functionality as students.
Why is Google asking me for my age?
Google asks for this information to determine if the user is over 13-years-old. If you enter a birthdate that establishes you as under 13-years-old, Google will lock your account.
