After you graduate or leave the University, your NetID will be deactivated. This means you will lose access to most university-provided software that was accessed, licensed, or activated with your NetID. This change does not go into effect immediately. Information Technology Services (ITS) will send a message to your UConn email after you graduate. When you receive this message, you will have approximately 60 days before your account is deactivated and your UConn email and drive data are deleted.
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.

UConn graduates will have the opportunity to opt into a forwarding service where any email sent to their UConn email address is automatically forwarded to a personal mailbox of their choice. Information about the forwarding service is available here: Alumni Forwarding Service
Students who were employees
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. 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.

What about Google?
If you graduated between 2012 and Spring 2024, your UConn email was in Google Workspace. In Summer 2024, UConn migrated from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 for all active students and employees.
...
Any data that was previously stored a Google Workspace account is no longer accessible and unrecoverable.
Microsoft 365
You will lose access to all 365 apps (Word, Excel, OneDrive, etc.) when you graduate. After graduating, you will receive an email with a timeline of how long you have access to your OneDrive in order to download files you wish to keep. ITS recommends you browse your files and download files/take note of files you wish to keep before your graduation.
...
If you return to UConn in the future as either a student or employee, you will regain access to relevant systems depending on your affiliation. You will receive the same NetID and email address that you previously had, but the data stored from your time as a student will not be preserved. If you return as an employee, you will lose eligibility for the alumni forwarding service, even if you return as a student later on.
