How Do I?

You have questions, we have answers.

Babson is moving from Google to Microsoft 365 for email, calendar, and collaboration/productivity tools. 

What this means for current alumni accounts... 

  • Your current Google account (Gmail, calendar, and Google Docs/Drive) will be active until November 13, 2023.
  • If you currently forward your @babson.edu account and/or have logged into it within the last year:
    • IT will move your email and calendar content from your Google account to a browser-based Outlook account November 13, 2023. The Babson Information Technology team will email affected alumni beforehand to let them know how they will be able to access their new account.

    • Any emails to your @babson.edu account will be forwarded indefinitely to a new email account ending in @alum.babson.edu.

    • IT will contact you before your content is copied and let you know the exact date of the account migrationhow to access your new account. We also will be in touch once your content has been copied. 

  • If you are not actively using your @babson.edu account, you can still request an @alum.babson.edu by completing this form. You will be contacted at the email address you provide on the form with your credentials and how to login. 
  • Any @alum.babson.edu accounts without email forwarding that have not been logged into for one year will be removed. Other policies recommended by Microsoft may be implemented to provide additional security.  
  • You can use Google Takeout in your Google Account to transfer Google Docs/Drive content to a personal Google account
  • If you would like to update your preferred email address, please contact advancement_services@babson.edu

We know this is a major change. Various factors influenced the decision to move to Microsoft 365, including the difficulty of maintaining two platforms and desired consistency of the user experience. Moreover, Google has changed its policies and is now charging Babson for storage. If you have any questions about it, please contact the IT Service Center at support@babson.edu or 781.239.4357.
