Alumni email service

The Alumni Email service allows students to retain their email address after they graduate, for as long as they need it. As a condition of service please be aware that if an email account is not logged into within a six-month period or is only used for the purpose of forwarding email, it will be classed as inactive and will be permanently closed. You will be contacted prior to any potential closure and given the option to retain your account.
