Campus Implemetation

E-mail is a common good service provided by the Office of Information Technology's Internet Services group. Central e-mail service for the Twin Cities, Morris, and Crookston campuses include mail routing, spam blocking, virus filtering, and the Gophermail WebMail client.

In addition, the University has partnered with Google to offer Google Apps for the University of Minnesota's students, staff, and faculty. Partnering Google will give the University community access to a suite of state-of-the-art communication and collaboration tools, which includes Gmail.

Google apps for the University will launch in the fall of 2009 as an optional service. The long-term goal is to have all students using U of M Gmail, so at some point, all incoming students will be required to use it as their official University e-mail account.
