University email addresses

[Dissipate]

After you graduate from your university do you get to keep your university email address or do they close your account?

I got to keep mine for a few months after but then they got rid of it

It probably depends. Mine was closed and they offered an alumni account that's just a forwarder.

At my university, they get deleted 3 months after graduation or transfer

Some universities give you email for life as a cheap way to keep track of alumni. Others cut you for dead as soon as you're no longer paying tuition.

Yea I graduated about 2 years ago and mine still works. I can still even get into the system with my old username and password. Its great.

Mine acts as a forwarding address forever. But my email storage space gets shut down one semester after I graduate.

Mine is suppose to be shut off 6 months after graduation, but it is still working a year later.

Mine kicked the bucket 4 months after I graduated.

They say it's only valid for about a year after graduating, but it has been active for over 3 years after graduating now.

Depends entirely upon the policy of the school. Most places will delete your account but may not do it until they schedule a cleanup as it's typically a PITA to clear out the accounts, so it could take years.

The one we actually used when we were there stopped working a few months after graduation. They did give us an alumni address that forwards to any email you want.
