Save Your Email Before You Leave UNH!

email

by Katie Ellis, IT Help Desk staff

UNH E-mail is only available while students are actively enrolled at UNH.  If you leave UNH for any reason (graduation, leave of absence, etc.), your student E-mail account will be deleted approximately 4 months after you leave UNH. For students leaving UNH, take these steps to avoid losing any E-mail messages or files:

1. Set up an Alumni E-mail Address by filling out the online application form. This will give you a permanent your.name@alumni.unh.edu E-mail address. This forwards E-mail to any Internet account. You can keep this alias as long as you want, changing the account which it forwards to as you establish different E-mail accounts. This address is good to use for job or school applications as well as personal correspondence. Continue reading ‘Save Your Email Before You Leave UNH!’
