As a graduated Senior, Information and Library Services would like to remind you of the following items that you should note and take care of before Monday, January 16, 2017.

Access to your Bates G Suite Account, including your Bates Username and Password will Expire on Monday, January 16th, 2017.

There are several utilities available to you to assist with migrating your Bates G Suite account data to a Personal G Suite account. The simplest option is to utilize CloudGopher which makes a copy of your Bates G Suite account (Gmail, Calendar, Contacts, and Docs), including “Shared with me” files into your personal G Suite account.
