Bachelor Alumni Email Forwarding
Summary: UCI Bachelor Degree Alumni can keep a permanent email connection to UCI.
Bachelor Degree Graduates
If you are a recently graduated Bachelor student you may sign up to keep an UCInetID@alumni.uci.edu address. Once you activate your alumni email forwarding address, all messages sent to your alumni email forwarding address will be re-directed to the email address of your choice.
Please note, the @alumni.uci.edu address is only an email forwarding service, not an email account.

Frequently Asked Questions:
- How long will I keep my Webmail/UCI Gmail account and @uci.edu address? Your @uci.edu address and associated e-mail account will continue to be available to you for about one year after graduation. If you wish to transfer your e-mail messages to another service, please do so during this time.
- Is this an email account? No, this is an email forwarding address which is linked to an existing email account. Once you activate your alumni email forwarding address, all messages sent to your alumni e-mail forwarding address will be re-directed to the email address of your choice.
- Will I be able to send email from this address? After you set up a forwarding email address, you will have the option to send emails through both the alumni email address or your existing email service provider(ESP). Many email service providers allow you to set the default “Reply” address of your choice. Please check with your ESP for details.
- Can I change my UCInetID or my alumni email address? Your UCInetID is permanent and cannot be updated after you graduate. Your alumni email address is also permanent, but you can update the email address it is linked to by visiting the sign up page again.
- Will my email forwarding address allow me to forward emails to multiple accounts? No, your email forwarding address will only allow you to select one email address for all your forwarded email.
- What other services will I have access to after I graduate? For up to four quarters, graduates will be able to access everything they have access to currently. After four quarters, of not appearing in the student information system, you will be considered a "former student" and will only have access to applications that provide services to former students and alumni. Available services include the Registrar's StudentAccess application and EEE. You will also have access to the Alumni Association's Online Community application.
- How long do I keep my UCInetID? You will retain your current UCInetID indefinitely for use in
accessing other Alumni UCI services(EEE, Registrar's StudentAccess , UCInet Mobile Access).
