After you graduate or leave the University, your NetID will be deactivated. You 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 deleted.

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.

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.

Previously, alumni retained access to their UConn Google Workspace mailbox and data after they graduated. We could extend this access because Google offered educational institutions free and unlimited storage. This changed in 2022 when Google unilaterally changed their terms and conditions and moved to a fee-based model. This change, in addition to ongoing issues with offering two similar platforms, prompted the University to move Google Workspace services to Microsoft 365.

Any data that was previously stored a Google Workspace account is no longer accessible and unrecoverable.

You will lose access to LastPass. Active students have access to a LastPass business account that is similar to the consumer account tier “Families”“Families,” which allows them to share their account with 5 other who will also have premium features (Families users cannot see others' passwords unless manually shared). If you have activated the optional personal account inside of your UConn business account or have activated any of the family accounts, you will need to decide how you proceed. You can pay to continue using LastPass in the Families capacity after you separate from the university, or you can reduce your service to a free LastPass account (no “family” members). It is against policy to export UConn-associated passwords along with your personal account’s passwords.
