NO, You will have multiple accounts during your time at UCSB. While many of them will use the same connect.ucsb.edu portal to access their emails, on the back end, they are still separate and can have separate usernames, passwords and expiration dates. When you create a CoE account, you are automatically granted a Connect account by default if you do not already have one, or have an engineering aliases added to your Connect account if you already have a Connect account.

UCSBnetID = campus level services, Connect = campus wide email, CoE = College of Engineering level services. A few departments such as ECE still have departmental accounts separate from CoE for departmental level services.

To see your current CoE information, please login to: https://accounts.engr.ucsb.edu/maintain/login

No, expired CoE accounts are archived but not immediately deleted. Its possible to sign up for classes in a future quarter and have your CoE account unarchived, reactivated, and extended to the end of the new quarter assuming less than 1 school year has passed since your account was expired.

If you have some other alias such as Umail, then your Google Connect account will continue to work after CoE expiration. You will not have access to CoE resources nor will you have access to your CoE aliases but the rest of your Google account should be unaffected.

If you do not have some other alias, then yes, when your CoE account is expired it may trigger Google Connect expiration as well. That is why we warn students whose CoE accounts are expiring that they may loose access.

Automatic CoE extensions are based on affiliation with UCSB via class or research units or major. Please note that there can be up to a 2 week delay between when you enroll in classes and when you show up as enrolled in the Registrar’s database. If you are not a CoE major and not taking CoE classes, your account will eventually expire. Working with a professor on projects, papers, research, etc.. does count as “affiliation with the College of Engineering” and you can request a manual account extension.
