Students keeps their email for 1 year after the last date for the last term registered. We do not offer alumni email, but when we've talked about it, we want to have a completely different domain - alumni.oakland.edu. The email address used by students is actually a "NetID" that provides access to many services, and those services are limited to students, many by contract (including library services).

Back on this issue (sort of) if you don’t mind…. Is there any regulation or guidance on student e-mail accounts and using the .edu when they are no longer students but have graduated and become alumni? How long do you continue to provide e-mail access for graduating students? Your advice is greatly appreciated!!

Anyone with a USU ID number can get a branded-gmail account (we call ours AggieMail) for as long as google will have them. That applies to students, alumni, employees, former employees and any other gremlins that manage to get an ID number. We are just now going through growing pains to get rid of Exchange accounts for employees who retired in the not-too-recent past. And angst from our emeriti is the result.

We have hired some of our graduates in the past, as I’m sure others have. Our staff, faculty, and students will soon all be using the same email system (Office365). I believe that we may be coming to a consensus that we will move away from “eternal" emails for students and retirees, instead we would implement eternal email forwarding to their own, personal email account instead for development and future engagement opportunities. The one unique case is when a student that becomes a staff member, leaves but is still a student (usually finishing their graduate degree). Since all roles used the same identity and email account, we are looking for suggestions and/or comments on what would be best for how to handle the email account for this former staff, current student. We have considered setting up a different account to generate a new student email, but there are concerns with this.
