We do Option 3. They get to keep their email for 3 months after they
graduate. Most of the accounts go dormant after a while anyway so we
couldn't see any reason to keep them around. The accounts are disabled and
periodically purged.

Option 1 for us at the moment.

Concerning option 2: If a student graduates, then they come back a year
later, would you give them @alum and @wpi, or switch them back to @wpi?

*Subject:* [SECURITY] Question Regarding Alumni email


We are evaluating alternatives regarding alumni email. Right now we
looking at two options:



Option 1: Allow students to keep their current WPI email address when they
graduate:  @WPI.edu

Option 2: Require students to change to a new “alumni” email address when
they graduate:  @alum.WPI.edu



I would be interested in how alumni email is handled in your institution.
Do you use Option 1, Option 2 or Option 3: None of the above. If you choose
Option 3 can you please explain?



Thanks,
