Coming Soon! FirstClass Retirement – May 2018

The project to retire FirstClass in May 2018 continues to progress and is on schedule. The Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning (CITL) and members of the FirstClass retirement project team are meeting with faculty, departments, and organizations to assist them with the transition to alternative solutions for FirstClass conferences and to migrate FirstClass email to Gmail. New UMaine MyCampus Portal announcement and community bulletin boards that replace FirstClass boards are now open for business. Go here for information about the MyCampus Portal announcement and community boards.

What Can I Do Now?

  • If you are using FirstClass as your primary email account, you should start the transition to Gmail. Here’s a link to Gmail training materials to help you with that process. Questions and comments can be sent to fc-migration-questions-group@maine.edu.
  • If you subscribe to listservs and use your FirstClass address for those lists, you will want to change your email address with the listserv provider. You will also want to change your email address with online services.
  • If you are a faculty member who needs assistance transitioning from FirstClass course conferences to an alternative course delivery solution, please contact CITL at citl@maine.edu or 207.581.3333.
