Gmail Deployment Rescheduled to Later in the Fall Semester

The planned Gmail Go-Live scheduled for this weekend, August 6th through August 8th has been rescheduled to later in the fall semester.

There are numerous concerns that we had to take into consideration prior to making the decision not to Go-Live this weekend. Most importantly, we do not to date have a signed contract with Google. This impacts our ability to offer you all the exciting features available in the Gmail environment.

We are aware that this is disappointing news to our students however we, Fordham IT have chosen to deliver the e-mail product that we promised. In order to do that we had no choice but to delay the Gmail Go-Live.

We will continue to update you via e-mail as plans for Go-Live are finalized.

  2. What about faculty and staff for gmail live at Fordham? I have a gmail account, and it is much faster than lotus notes.
