Posted on by

On Wednesday, you probably received a cryptic email saying “your formal affiliation with UVM” is over…

If you read it, you probably felt a little confused (and maybe a little angry). Yeah, it was a weird email, but here’s the real scoop on your UVM email address.

  • Your formal affiliation with UVM isn’t over. We’ll always love you.

Snape Always

  • If you want to keep your UVM email forever, you can. Next year, you’ll get information about a lifetime alumni email address (just like your lifetime AIM account, right?).

aim.com

  • If you don’t want to keep your email address, just forward it to your Gmail account.

  • Or, if you want to ignore everything above, email us at afterword@uvm.edu, give us the email you actually use, and we’ll update it for you.

Whether you are applying to grad school this fall or just pondering the idea, you’re probably very aware of the rigorous application process. Fortunately, UVM has made requesting an official transcript easy *and free*.

All you have to do is log into your myUVM Portal and click on the registrar tab. On the left, under Academic Records, you’ll see “request your official transcript”.

Once you’re on that page, select the appropriate delivery method.

If you select mail as your delivery method, you’ll get this message. We’ll let you decide if you want to save paper…

Fill out the required fields and you’ll be feeling like a million bucks for completing another step in the grad school application process!

  1. Graduate school @ UVM. Tons of interesting programs and options for every career and profession.  And they have a couple of online degrees now.2015-07-15 14_21_27-Graduate College _ University of Vermont

     

  2. Continuing Education @ UVM. They offer lots of short courses and certificates–in a classroom and online–to get some more skills (without committing to years of grad school).
