A personal Google account is an account you have created at google.com using your @buffalo.edu email address. If Jane Doe, for example, has a UB email address jdoe@buffalo.edu, she might have had a Google account jdoe@buffalo.edu.

1. Log out of your UBmail Powered by Google account, if you have one.
2. Visit www.google.com/accounts.
3. Log into your non-UB account with the @buffalo.edu address.
4. Request your password. If you do not have an account there will be no password to recover.

1. Visit www.google.com/accounts.
2. Log into your non-UB account with the @buffalo.edu address.
3. Select Personal Settings and Change email.
4. Select the kind of account you would like:
   • A new UB Gmail.com account.
   • An account that uses another address you already own, such as jdoe@yahoo.com.
5. Select Continue. If you select Do this later, Google will change your account to another temporary name of their choice.

The owner of your files will be automatically re-named. Colleagues with whom you have shared files will see the new name.
