The University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) is retiring its Google system for student & alumni email.  Since 2018, UMB students receive a Microsoft 365 account for student email.

Important Updates

The automatic move of targeted UMB Google email addresses to UMB Microsoft 365 is complete.  Please first visit the UMB account management website to activate your UMB Microsoft 365 account.  Once activated, access your email by logging in to https://portal.office.com with your UMB alumni or student email address & password, click Apps on the left, and select Outlook.

Automatic forwarding of email in the UMB Google environment was disabled on June 17, 2025 to enhance the security of UMB email accounts. More information is available here: https://www.umaryland.edu/cits/departments-leadership-and-committees/it-security-and-compliance/security-awareness/changes-to-auto-forwarding-of-emails/

Access to UMB Google was disabled on June 30, 2025.

If you need any assistance, please contact the UMB Help Desk at help@umaryland.edu or 410-706-HELP (4357).

School of Medicine Students & Alumni

All School of Medicine (SOM) enrolled students with a UMB Google email address are now having their UMB Google email address forwarded to their existing SOM student email address for one (1) year.

All SOM alumni with a UMB Google email address received a new SOM alumni email address. Email sent to a SOM alumni UMB Google email address is now being forwarded to their new SOM alumni email address for one (1) year.

For both SOM students and alumni, after one (1) year the forwarding will be removed and email sent to your UMB Google email address will no longer be delivered. Please update your contacts with your new SOM alumni email address.

All SOM alumni received an email with details of their new alumni email address, a temporary password, and instructions on how to access their new SOM alumni email address. Please visit the SOM alumni email website for how to access your new alumni email account. If you do not recall your temporary password or need other assistance with your new SOM alumni email account, please contact the SOM Help Desk for assistance at help@som.umaryland.edu.

Third-Party Website Login

If you used your UMB Google account as a login to another website, this will no longer work after all UMB Google accounts are disabled.  Please update your login with those websites beforehand.  Any websites automatically prompting you to log in using Google and listing your UMB Google account as an option may be impacted.

If you used your UMB Google email address to sign up for an account or service with a third-party company, you either need to update your email address with that company to a personal email address or ensure you take action to retain access to your UMB student/alumni email address. Failure to do so may result in you losing access to that company’s services or losing your account’s history with the company, such as purchase or support history.
