Your old @cummingsinstitute.com email address has been linked to your new @cgi.edu email address. This is known as an email alias. An email alias is a helpful way for individuals to receive mail sent to another address all in one place. If someone emails your address @cummingsinstitute.com, you will receive this email in your @cgi.edu mailbox. You will not need to check a separate email inbox at @cummingsinstitute.com.
It is a good idea to alert any contacts who use the old @cummingsinstitute.com email address that you have a new email address. We also recommend that you include a line in your signature for the next several weeks to remind people.
Any service where you use the old @cummingsinstitute.com email address as a login should still work with the old email address. That is because you are using the entire email address as a piece of text, just words and letters, that acts the login. These types of accounts normally all have separate passwords that you have to keep track of, and use, to log in to the website/service. The old email address should still work as a login; however, it would be a good idea to change the login to your new email address.
If you use your Google account to actually log in -- where the service is linked specifically to your Google account (like YouTube or any other web service where you select "Log in with Google" as an option -- you may encounter some issues. The most common situation will be that you are asked to log in to your new Google account to authenticate the connection between services.
No. Your username and password at my.cummingsinstitute.com will not change. That is because your username there is not your email address, nor is your password connected to your Google account.
It may affect your notifications and the CGI Email and Calendar widget on the home page. If you experience issues with your notifications, go into your Account Settings and change your email address to reflect the new domain. The Help Desk will change this for you but it may take a day or two for that change to take effect.
At this time, we do not know how the domain change will affect the CGI Email and Calendar widget. You should expect a service disruption while we see what the widget will do and while we evaluate what changes will be needed. Once the widget is returned to service, expect to have to re-authorize your Google email address in the learning environment.

That one's the wild card right now. We don't honestly know how it will be affected, but you should assume it will be affected.Expect a service disruption while we evaluate the impact of the new email addresses on the functioning of the widget and make any required changes. Updates will be shared via the "News" area on the landing page of the LMS.
