Why are the AU Gmail services slightly different from services that are publicly provided by Google?
AU Gmail accounts have been customized for optimal educational collaboration and Adelphi University branding will appear at the top of most pages. In addition, Adelphi University has taken steps to ensure that your student data is protected above and beyond a publicly available account. Enrolled students will not see advertisements. External links to Google’s “Web Clips” do appear in the area to the right of the Compose Mail link, however, this can easily be turned off or adjusted to suit your preferences. On the top right of your AU Gmail screen, simply click on Settings and then Web Clips and remove/select web clip sources as desired or uncheck the box next to “Show my web clips above the Inbox” to hide this function entirely.
