University Email After Graduation
What happens to my email account after graduation?
Upon graduation or non-registration for courses, you have approximately 9-15 months (depending on status) to set up forwarding of your email account. However, university passwords are only good for 90 days so all accounts will lock when this period expires. As a UofL alum, you are eligible for permanent email forwarding. Emails sent to your university account will be forwarded to a designated personal email account of your choosing. To set up email forwarding, go to ULink > on the portal entrance, click on Students > sign into the system > click on the Profile tile > in left navigation, click on Contact Details > here you can add an email and change your preferences. Check the UofL Alumni page for more information.

What about my other accounts after graduation?
You will also need to transfer your other technology accounts that currently use a university license to access to personal accounts with the same company. For example, your 0365 and Adobe CC software is licensed only for "educational use" and will need to be transferred to a paid one. While not a complete list, we recommend the following:
For 0365 or other Microsoft products, begin on your account dashboard and follow their advice on managing your subscriptions. Remember to migrate any data or files stored on OneDrive, SharePoint or through other 0365 software if not transferring your account.
If you have an AdobeCC account, you will need to follow the information that Adobe has for graduating students on setting up a new account. You will want to migrate any content stored in your current cloud account to your new personal, paid account as well.
If you have a UofL CardBox account for digital storage, switching to a personal Box account is necessary. See box.com for more information on types of plans or support.box.com on how-to migrate your files.
