Alumni Email Forwarding

All UCI graduates have the opportunity to set up a permanent "UCInetID@alumni.uci.edu" email address that will forward your alumni email to an address of your choice. Please note, this is only an email forwarding service, not an email account.

The service is provided by UCI at no cost to you – it does not require membership in the UCI Alumni Association. It’s a great way for you to stay connected with the university, friends and colleagues, and to show your Anteater pride.

To set up your @alumni.uci.edu address, visit:

http://signup.alumni.uci.edu (UCInetID Login Required)

Enter your UCINetID and password to be directed to the e-mail forwarding registration page. The address you register can be an e-mail account provided by any commercial or public e-mail service such as gmail.com, yahoo.com, or your home Internet Service Provider.

You will retain your current UCInetID indefinitely for use in accessing UCI services. This provides continued access to the NACS wireless network when on the UCI campus and access to the Registrar's StudentAccess service so that you can retrieve your grades and transcripts. Other services will be added in the future.

Your current @uci.edu address and UCI e-mail account will continue to be available to you for one year after graduation. If you want to transfer your @uci.edu e-mail messages, please do so during this time. After one year, your UCI e-mail messages will no longer be accessible.

If you have questions about UCI e-mail services, please contact the NACS help desk at nacs@uci.edu or (949)824-2222.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I keep my current UCInetID?
You will retain your current UCInetID indefinitely for use in accessing UCI services. However, you will only have access to specific applications after being away from UCI for two quarters.
Will I get to keep my NACS MailBox account?
Yes, but only for a period of one year after you graduate. At that point it will stop working.
When will my @UCI.EDU email address stop working?
 
ONE YEAR: You have one year to transition to your new @alumni.uci.edu account. If you do nothing, your @UCI.edu email delivery will stop working when your NACS mailbox account is terminated, after one year.
What services will I have access to after I graduate?
For up to two quarters, graduates will be able to access everything they have access to currently. After two 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. Available services include the Registrar's StudentAccess application, access to UCI's wireless network, UCInet Mobile Access. You will also have access to the Alumni Association's Online Community application
