What is Changing?
UC Davis currently provides former students and some former affiliates with a DavisMail (@ucdavis.edu) Google email address and Google Workspace account after they leave the university. Former affiliates also have the option of having their messages automatically forwarded to a personal email account.
- In 2023, UC Davis will begin phasing out email and email forwarding for former students, staff, and other former affiliates.
- UC Davis alumni can establish an @alumni.ucdavis.edu email address with a paid lifetime membership to the Cal Aggie Alumni Association (CAAA) For questions, please contact CAAA via email at alumni@ucdavis.edu.
Email services for current students, faculty, and staff as well as retired faculty are not impacted by this change.
How to Prepare
To minimize the inconvenience of this email service change, UC Davis is providing advanced notice to all impacted groups.

If you are a former student or staff member and if you want to save data from your account, you will need to take the following actions:
