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 Access
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.
Your NetID and NetID passwords are
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 365 and Software
As a student, you have an account on Microsoft 365 and access to the apps, including Microsoft Office, within this suite. You also have the ability to download the Microsoft 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 Microsoft 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. Files stored in OneDrive will not be available. after your NetID becomes inactive.
Email and Google Account
You keep access to your Google Workspace account after you graduate. Do consider moving any important files or emails to personal storage (e.g., your personal Google account).
Google provides a tool for migrating data from your UConn Google account, called Takeout. You can access it by logging into takeout.google.com with your UConn account. Takeout can download the contents of your Google drive to your PC or transfer the data to OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, or another Google drive (e.g., your personal Google account).
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 you are no longer an active student and you cannot log in to other systems, you will still use your NetID credentials to sign in to Student Admin.
*Students who attended after 2002
Your data stored in Student Admin remains there forever.
