Employees that are also alumni, including faculty, are ineligible for continued email service.

As an employee, you exchange institutional information and data via email. When an employee leaves the University, they cannot retain their email address and service as a security precaution. The forwarding service lets you continue to receive messages sent to your @uconn.edu address, even if you are no longer at UConn. 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.
