Your E-mail Account

Your Andrew e-mail account will expire 90 days after graduation. Within this time, you may want to forward any residual Andrew e-mail to a new account, follow these steps:

1. Establish a new e-mail account with your employer, or another service (e.g., AOL, Hotmail, etc.)
2. Visit the My Andrew web service and select the CMU Name and Forwarding link to set mail forwarding to your new e-mail account. If you need additional help, read the Forwarding document.
   
   Note: After the 90 day period, your Andrew account will no longer exist and thus will no longer be able to forward to your new account. To avoid losing important mail messages, begin using your new e-mail address or your alumni address (see below) as soon as possible. The alumni address never expires.

As a Carnegie Mellon alumni you have access to a lifetime e-mail forwarding account via Alumni Relations. The alumni address is configured as "username@alumni.cmu.edu", reflecting your status as a Carnegie Mellon graduate. To take advantage of this benefit, follow these additional steps:

1. Visit the Carnegie Mellon Alumni web site and select the link for the special Carnegie Mellon Alumni member page.
2. Enter your preferred alumni user name, then enter the e-mail account you want to forward to (e.g., your employer, AOL, Hotmail, etc.).
