What will happen if I don’t renew my @berkeley.edu Google account as an Alumni?

Alumni with email services before September, 2023 who were asked to renew by April 15, 2024

Alumni can still renew after April 15, but they will not be able to create or add new files and will lose the ability to send or receive email outside of berkeley.edu until they renew.  Email sent to alumni who have not renewed will be returned or "bounced" back to the sender with a warning message.

New Alumni who are still in their grace period as a former student

New alumni have until the the end of their grace period to renew their @berkeley.edu Google accounts.  Failure to renew as a new alumni prior to the end of your grace period will result in your account being disabled and scheduled for deletion.

Existing Employees who also happen to be alumni

While an employee, you can not renew email services as an alum because @berkeley.edu Google accounts of existing employees are subject to different policies and have different features and quotas than Alumni.  Existing employees who are alumni will be able to renew email services as an alum during the grace period provided them when they separate from the university.
