Using Google Takeout for the Alumni Data Migration process
Students of NSU retain access to their @nsuok.edu Greenmail account for up to 2 years after their last enrollment date, after which the account will be permanently deleted. If you would like to transfer your Google data (Drive, Docs, emails, etc.) to a personal Gmail account, or an NSU Alumni account, you can use Google's data migration service called Google Takeout.
To use Google Takeout to transfer data to another Google account, you may visit the following link: https://takeout.google.com/transfer
- While signed into your NSU Greenmail account, visit https://takeout.google.com/transfer (Please ensure that you are on the correct account by clicking the profile icon in the top right)
- On the "Transfer your content" page, enter the destination account (this must be another Google account ending in @gmail.com or @alumni.nsuok.edu)
- Send a code to verify ownership of the recipient account, and enter it in to the "Verify your destination account" section
- Select any content you would like to copy from your @nsuok.edu account to your @gmail.com or @alumni.nsuok.edu account and start the transfer process
- Please be patient and start this process soon after you leave NSU, as it can take up to two weeks to process, and will cause issues if your account is deleted partially through the process.
If you do not have another Google account to transfer this data to (and you do not want to create one), you may export your data for usage with another provider such as Yahoo, Proton Mail, etc. by visiting the following link: https://takeout.google.com/
- While signed into your NSU Greenmail account, visit https://takeout.google.com/ (Please ensure that you are on the correct account by clicking the profile icon in the top right)
- Select all data from your NSU account that you would like to transfer, and then hit "Next Step" at the bottom of the page
- Choose how you would like your data exported, export frequency, and desired file type / size
- Select "Create export" and allow Google's systems to process your account
- Please be patient and start this process soon after you leave NSU, as it can take up to two weeks to process, and will cause issues if your account is deleted partially through the process.
Graduates of NSU may request a free alumni email from the NSU Alumni Association at 918-444-4200 or by emailing alumni@nsuok.edu. This is a separate account from your @nsuok.edu account, that will be created with the ending @alumni.nsuok.edu. Please note that NSU Alumni accounts do not support Google Drive, Documents, Photos, etc. and that to retain any data from your original @nsuok.edu account you must transfer this data within 2 years of your last enrollment date, otherwise your data will be permanently deleted.
Note: This process is only available to current or former students who have been enrolled within two years. Current, former, and retired employees are not permitted to migrate data to an external account.
