Google at U-M is a Google Workspace for Education Fundamentals software bundle.

• Access Google at U-M tools using your @umich.edu email and UMICH password.
• Gmail and Calendar access are limited unless you are a U-M alumni with an existing account. 
  • This restriction is by design so faculty, students, and staff can receive all messages to their Outlook inbox, whether the message is sent to their @med.umich.edu or @umich.edu address.
• Microsoft 365 is Michigan Medicine's preferred collaboration toolset.
