Up until now UCD graduates from May 2013 onward retained their UCD email address for life. Following a recent review, it has been decided that this service will no longer be offered going forward.
Graduates will no longer have access to UCD Google Workspace (email address and all emails within the account, as well as contacts and documents that are stored within Google Drive) but will still retain a UCD Connect Account to access other online services such as transcripts etc.
