How to request a Google account with an employee email address?

Overview

The University of Idaho University Communications and Marketing (UCM) and Office of Information Technology (OIT) have worked with the Office of General Counsel to sign-up for an officially approved Google Workspace for employee accounts. While the service is not generally supported, if you have a need for applications in Google, please fill out the form below. 

Reminder:

  • Approved file storage locations are documented here: https://support.uidaho.edu/TDClient/40/Portal/KB/ArticleDet?ID=1670 
  • Google Drive cannot be used to store any University of Idaho data unless associated with an approved grant, project or application.
  • It is no longer possible to enroll an @uidaho.edu account with Google via email. Enrollment email is automatically blocked.

 

Google Workspace Account Request

 To request a Google Workspace Account, use this Microsoft Form: https://forms.office.com/r/jne1FnGvfp 

Accounts take up to 40 minutes to be provisioned in the Google Workspace and will use your @uidaho.edu account credentials to sign-in. Information on the sign-in process is available here: https://support.uidaho.edu/TDClient/40/Portal/KB/ArticleDet?ID=2464

 

Google Workspace Details

  • The University of Idaho Google Workspace has been configured with federation so employees, who have been granted access, will use their @uidaho.edu account and password to sign in.
  • Self-service creation of new Google accounts with an @uidaho.edu email address has been disabled. Creating a new Google account with any @uidaho.edu address must be done through the form linked above.
  • If you already have a Google account that ends in @uidaho.edu, you may be required to transfer it to the University of Idaho's Google Workspace. See How to transfer your Google account?
