Retaining an IU-sponsored email account after graduation
You can maintain an IU-sponsored email account after you graduate if you do one of the following:
Create an Imail or Umail account
Imail and Umail accounts are not disabled when their owners leave IU, so you can continue to use your account after you graduate.
With an Imail or Umail account, your return address will remain
username@imail.iu.edu or
username@umail.iu.edu after you
graduate. Your campus address (e.g.,
username@indiana.edu) will
remain active only if you set your preferred address to your Imail,
Umail, or alumni email account (see below). Forwards to other
preferred addresses will result in the deactivation of your campus
address. See Selecting your primary email address and preferred email account
Create an IU Alumni Association account (members only)
The IU Alumni
Association (IUAA) offers a web-based email client from Microsoft
for those who are not eligible for an Imail or Umail account. Members
of the IUAA have access to a professional email address
(username@alumni.iu.edu) for
resumes, social networking, or to highlight their affiliation with
IU. See Alumni
Email Account.
