Current MassArt students scheduled to graduate in 2025

If you are a current student who is getting ready to graduate, you will continue to have access to your MassArt Google Workspace account for 90 days after your official graduation completion date. During this period, it is essential that you backup the data stored in your student massart.edu email, Google drive, and/or any other applications linked to your MassArt Google account. For your convenience, we’ve created a Backing up or Migrating your MassArt Google account data knowledge base article, which provides guidance for backing up or migrating Google Workspace account data.

Alumni who graduated prior to 2025

MassArt is no longer able to issue new Alumni Google Workspace accounts. Additionally, all previously held Alumni Google Workspace accounts were permanently deactivated in the fall of 2024. This change was brought about by Google’s decision to end free storage for their Higher Education clients, a shift that has been in progress at numerous schools across the country for some time. Prior to the deactivations, MassArt sent out a number of notifications to alumni with active Google Workspace accounts for whom we had current email addresses on file.

Alumni Email Forwarding Service

For those alums who wish to use an alumni.massart.edu email domain, we have implemented a new email forwarding service which can be connected to forward messages sent to a massart.alumni.edu email alias to your personal email address. If you haven’t already provided a non-massart email address for the forwarding service to the Alumni Relations Office, or need to update the one on file, please email alumni@massart.edu and we’d be happy to assist you.

Finding affordable health insurance can be an issue for artists and designers. While we continually look at ways to help our alumni find and keep health insurance, ongoing changes to national healthcare policy can create obstacles.
