Upon graduation from UConn, your access to key student systems will change. These systems include your university email and services that use your NetID for access. This article provides a timeline an outline of what you should expect and what steps you may consider taking to preserve data.

You will lose access to your university-provided email inbox. Once your account is deactivated, your data will be deleted and will not be recoverable.
You will have the opportunity to opt into a forwarding service where any email sent to your UConn email address is automatically forwarded to a personal mailbox of your choice. Information about the forwarding service is available here: Alumni Forwarding Service
If you were ever employed by UConn (not including student employment), you will not be eligible for the Alumni Forwarding Service. If you become employed by UConn in the future, you will lose access to the Alumni Forwarding Service, but you will regain access to a UConn mailbox.

Employees that are also alumni, including faculty, are ineligible for continued email service. As an employee, you exchange institutional information and data via email.

This means you could potentially receive sensitive or confidential institutional data, and it would be on a system that does not meet the University’s IT security requirements. This situation puts the University, the sender, and you at risk. |
