What if a student already has a personal Gmail account?
Students can continue to use their personal Gmail account. A Rutgers Gmail account is a separate account that does not affect existing Gmail accounts. The advantage of the Rutgers Gmail account is 7 gigabytes of storage, in an ad-free environment that maintains your Rutgers identity through your netid@scarletmail.rutger.edu email address. The difference is mostly on the look and feel of the applications. Behind the scenes, Google also delegates control of Rutgers Google Apps and user accounts to Rutgers system administrators.
