FHSU Mail Expiration

The Fort Hays State University email policy states that after a student is no longer enrolled at FHSU, their student @mail.fhsu.edu Gmail account will remain intact and accessible for approximately one additional year. After the one-year grace period, the student @mail.fhsu.edu Gmail account will be disabled on or after the 20th day of enrollment of the next spring or fall academic semester. You will receive notification emails prior to this deadline.

The initial disabling of former student accounts will occur on September 17, 2024. On this date, students who last attended FHSU May 2023 or prior will lose Gmail access.

If you have not been enrolled at FHSU during the past year, we strongly recommend that you move to a new email address/service before this date. You will receive notification emails prior to this deadline.

Please take the following actions to prepare for these upcoming changes:

How can I move files out of my FHSU Google account to another location?

Google Takeout can be used to move assets such as your email, drive contents, and documents to another Google account. Most issues people have with using this method seem to be easily resolved by being logged into the account you’re transferring from and the one you’re transferring to in separate browsers or by using private/incognito browser windows.

You can also copy & transfer your files to another Google account or use other methods (like a desktop drive app) to move your files to another location.
