Closure of Your @ucsf.edu E-mail Account

If you are graduating or have recently graduated, and
If you will not be starting a residency, fellowship, or other program at UCSF

then your @ucsf.edu e-mail account will be closed after September 30 following your graduation date.

To prepare for your @ucsf.edu e-mail account closure, take the following steps soon after your date of graduation:

Set up another e-mail account if you don't already have a Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, Hotmail, or other e-mail account for personal use.

UCSF Alumni Services offers each graduate a free redirect so you can have your.name@alumni.ucsf.edu redirect to your other e-mail account. This is a great way to establish a professional e-mail address for your career or job hunting. For a small annual fee, they can also provide you with a complete @alumni.ucsf.edu web-based e-mail account. For details, see Free Email-forwarding accounts with UCSF domain or contact Alumni Services.
Notify appropriate parties that your @ucsf.edu e-mail address will no longer be available and give them the e-mail address you'd like them to use instead. For example, send a mass mailing to everyone in your address book and/or create a signature in Outlook, Outlook Web Access, or Entourage.
Set a vacation notice (optional) - When you're ready to stop using your @ucsf.edu e-mail account, set a vacation notice that notifies others of your new e-mail address.

Communicating with Your Class

Through September 30

From July 1 through September 30, you will be able to communicate with your newly graduated class using a mailing list. Information about the mailing list is distributed to you by e-mail in spring/summer, and you will also find it listed on our List of LISTSERVs.

After September 30

If you want to continue a mailing list service for your class beyond September 30, consider forming a consensus with your classmates to switch to a third-party provider. Your class will need to designate one or more administrators for the mailing list. Some resources for choosing these services are:
