Your University IT account
Leaving or graduating this year?
Important information regarding your student IT account and email.
Students are no longer provided with an Alumni account when they graduate, so all the data from existing accounts will be lost when it expires.
On completion of your studies, your IT user account will enter a 30-day expiry period. After 30 days, access to your account and all University systems will be permanently terminated and data will start to be deleted.
You will receive a bespoke email from Registry indicating when the 30-day expiry period will commence. This will be the date of the Programme Board, not your graduation ceremony date.
The Programme Board date is when your record will be set to 'left' by your School, but this varies from course to course.
If you are doing resits (Special Assessment Period) or returning to the University for further study or as staff, please visit our Frequently Asked Questions section.
During the 30-day expiry period, you still have access to email, Microsoft 365, Learn, and your OneDrive account.
