You’ve had your UVM email address for 4+ years now and you may be wondering what’s going to happen with it now that you are an alum.<\/p>\n

Two things are going to happen very soon:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You’ll get some weird messages about your current email account, but don’t despair, you’ll have it for a few more months at the least.<\/li>\n
  2. You’ll have the chance to create a permanent, lifetime UVM email address. And, you get to log-in using your current NetID and password (nothing new to remember!).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    First, the weirdness.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    If you haven’t already, one of the first things you’ll get is a cryptic-looking email from UVM that reads like this:<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    This is an automated email sent to all recent graduates like yourself that makes you feel like you are reading this:<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    It is definitely confusing and looks like someone may have hacked your account, but don’t worry, it’s really just a message to let you know that a change is coming to your NetID and email.<\/p>\n

    The most important thing you need to know is that if you want to keep a UVM email address forever, you can very soon!<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    Your uvm.edu email address will keep working for another few months, and soon, you will have the option to receive a lifetime email address that ends with @alumni.uvm.edu. You’ll activate your account using your existing NetID and password — super simple.<\/p>\n

    Your lifetime alumni email address will be available in just a few weeks<\/strong> and you’ll get a message announcing when you can log-in from the Alumni Association.\u00a0 We will be sure to remind you as well.<\/p>\n

    And, just to get you thinking, here are 5 great reasons to use your alumni email account:<\/strong><\/p>\n
