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.

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.
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.

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.

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.
