How do I retain an IU-sponsored email account after graduation?

You have two options for maintaining an IU-sponsored email account after you graduate:

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 IU Connect alumni email account (see below). Forwards to other preferred addresses will result in the deactivation of your campus address. See At IU, how do I register my preferred email address?

Create an IU Alumni Association account

The IU Alumni Association offers a web-based email client that combines powerful virus protection and an integrated calendar. Alumni and members of the IUAA have access to a professional email address (i.e., @alumni.iu.edu or one of several campus variants) for resumes, social networking, or to highlight their affiliation with IU. Sign in with your IU Network ID to create an account on the IU Alumni Email Account Creation page.
