This article covers what will change with your NetID, university email, and access to key student systems once your graduate or leave the University and when to expect those changes to happen.
NetID and NetID Password
Your NetID and NetID password are used to log into UConn services behind Single Sign On. You can log into these services, such as HuskyCT, as an active student. After you graduate, you remain an active student for a period time, and this is determined by when your graduate.
Graduation in May:
If you graduate in May, you will be considered an active student until the 10th day of the following fall semester. For example, if you are graduating in May 2022, you will remain active until the 10th day of the Fall 2022 semester.
Graduation after May:
If you graduate any time after May, you remain active until the 10th day of the fall semester of the following year. For example, if you graduate in August 2022, you can access services until the 10th day of the Fall 2023 semester.
Fail to Complete your Program:
If you do not complete your program and do not return the following semester, you will lose access on the 10th day of the following semester. For example, you finished the Fall 2022 Semester but you still need credits to graduate, your NetID will deactivate on the 10th day of the Spring 2023 semester.
Microsoft Office 365
As a student, you have an account on Microsoft Office 365 and access to the apps, including Microsoft Office, within this suite. You also have the ability to download the Office 365 applications on up to five University-owned or personal devices. You have access to your Office 365 account as long as your NetID remains active.
When your NetID becomes inactive, you will no longer have access to the apps and files saved within your Office 365 account.
Before you become an inactive student, transfer your files to storage. You can save them to a backup storage device or another cloud-hosted storage option.
Email and Google Account
As a UConn Husky, you keep your email for life! Specifically, you get to keep your email address and account on Google Workspace (formerly G Suite). This means you will continue to have access to your messages and data that you have on your Google account even after graduation.
HuskyCT
Your NetID remains active after graduation, but you are listed as an “inactive student.” As you can log in with your NetID, you can access HuskyCT.
Access to old courses depends on if the instructor has left the course available or opens it for you. You can access all available resources on the Institution page.
Student Administration System
Most undergraduate and graduate students* can access their records (e.g., transcripts, tax information) as alumni by logging into Student Admin. Even when your NetID is not longer active and you cannot log in to other systems, you will still use these credentials to sign in to Student Admin.
*Students who attended after 2002
Your data stored in Student Admin remains there forever.
