Extension and International Students taking Summer 2024 classes: Due to delays this year on paperwork processing ECI/CoE will not be informed of your class status until 2 weeks before the start of Summer quarter. Extension and International students may receive warning messages about their CoE account expiring in 30 days, 2 weeks, etc.. Please note that if you are already enrolled in Summer or Fall classes as of the end of 2nd pass for continuing students on June 21st, you should see no break in access and that your CoE account should automatically be extended before the start of Summer quarter on June 24th. |

UCSBnetID - Based on UCSB campus wide Identity. Used to sign into SSO portals.
Google Connect - Email and Google apps like Google drive.
Your default email is your UCSBnetID@ucsb.edu. Almost all other accounts at UCSB use the same Google account for email and give you additional email aliases, which you can see under settings (gear icon) >> see all settings >> accounts.
Defaults to campus SSO, but can be signed into using a variety of methods.
College Level Accounts - The College of Engineering, like the other 3 Colleges that make up UCSB has their own account system. They are not mutually exclusive and people can have accounts from multiple colleges.
CoE accounts grant you access to CoE resources such as the CSIL/Honea labs, CoE software, and CoE email aliases such as UCSBnetID@engineering.ucsb.edu and UCSBnetID@dept.ucsb.edu.
Coe Account invites are sent to everyone who is taking CoE class or research units if they do not already have a CoE account.
CoE accounts are not created automatically.
Already existing CoE accounts are reactivated and extended even if they are expired.
To see your current CoE information including expiration date, please login to: https://accounts.engr.ucsb.edu/maintain/login
Service accounts - These are accounts that provide you access to a particular service such as the UCSB Library or Adobe Federated ID for those whose departments have purchased Adobe Licenses through the Campus office of Software Licensing. Many accounts use SSO as a default, but can use their own logins if SSO is not available.

This will depend on which exact account is expiring. Please read all notices carefully and first verify they are actually from the account in question. Due to large amounts of spam and scams, if you have any questions, it may be better to not click any links in emails and instead go to the websites of the accounts in question directly.

Will my Google Connect account continue to work after CoE expiration?

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. |
Will Forwarding I set up in Google Connect continue to work after Connect expiration?
No, however you can request Alumni Forwarding: Can I keep my email address after I graduate? (Alumni Mail)
Will my CoE account expire if I am not in a CoE major, not taking CoE classes or units, and not otherwise affiliated with the College of Engineering?
