Continue using your IU-branded email address

After separating from IU, students can forward mail from username@iu.edu for one year by creating an alumni email account, and then setting up forwarding so that messages sent to your iu.edu email address arrive in your alumni email account inbox.

To set up email forwarding:

1. Go to My IU Alumni Resources, and create your alumni email account.
2. Log into your alumni email account to confirm that it has been created.
3. From your alumni email account, contact Tier 2 and request to have mail forwarded from your IU-branded email addresses to your alumni account. Make sure to include your full email address in this request (for example, username@alumni.iu.edu), as your alumni email account username may be different from your IU username.
4. Once your request is completed, mail sent to your IU-branded email addresses will arrive in your alumni email account inbox.

You may also transfer your Exchange account files and messages to your IU Alumni Association account or another Google account. For instructions, see Keep your Exchange account email messages and calendar appointments when leaving IU.

If you do not create an alumni email account, then you will no longer receive mail sent to your IU-branded email addresses. Additionally, you will not be able to forward mail from your IU-branded email addresses to a personal email account.
