Google Account non-core services

Non-Core google applications such as blogger, picasa, voice, YouTube, etc. are now available to use with your Lehigh account using single-signon, however the "Terms Of Service (TOS)" for those follow the consumer TOS, rather than the special terms available for Education Customers. Support for non-core services is limited. You may see a warning message that "This account is managed by lehigh.edu." when using those services with your lehigh account, which reminds you that the content you place there is tied to your Lehigh account/username.

Check your account security with this checklist.

Lehigh Email Migrator (LEM) is a tool to move your e-mail from mail.lehigh.edu (hosted in the Computing Center, on-campus) to Lehigh google mail (hosted in the internet cloud). In either case, your e-mail address remains the same, at lehigh.edu.

PLEASE READ THIS before you use Lehigh's Google apps...

Lehigh's service agreement with Google does not include provisions for data backup or file restoration. Email sent to trash is deleted after 30 days. Google Docs does retain previous versions of documents. Documents sent to trash remain there until explicitly deleted. After files and/or email are deleted from trash there is no way of restoring them.

Note to Lehigh Faculty and Staff: Do not store sensitive Lehigh data (ie. FERPA data, SSN's, Health records, etc. ) on Google apps. Sensitive data should remain in Banner or on other secured local systems. Here is Googles explaination about Privacy and Security.

Note: Several Google Apps features, such as accessing mail or calendars from stand-alone programs or handhelds, require a "Google-stored" password, since they interact directly with Google's systems. Lehigh security policy requires that externally stored passwords be *different* from your Lehigh password. Use this utility to generate a "Google-stored" passphrase to use with those features.
