Is it your time to wear the cap and gown? Then it is also time to get your Northwestern alumni e-mail account. Remember, your NetID and current @northwestern.edu account becomes inactive 90 days after your last class as a Northwestern student.
When you sign up for your permanent alumni account, you can forward mail to any external e-mail account, as well as redirect mail from your student address. Best of all, an @alumni.northwestern.edu account is free to all Northwestern graduates.
All it takes to activate is two easy steps. First, go to the Northwestern Alumni Association Web site and sign up for a free alumni account. Second, before your NetID expires, redirect your existing student account to this new address, or any other personal address, on the Edit Directory Web site.
