How long will I keep my email?

Please refer to the official Employee and Student Email policy found on https://sites.auburn.edu/admin/universitypolicies/Policies/EmployeeandStudentEmailPolicy.pdf , as items listed below are subject to change.

• Employee -  Your email account is active as long as you are employed by Auburn University.

• Students -  Your email account is active as long as you are enrolled in classes, with a three term grace period after your last completed term.

• Incoming Students - Your email account becomes active once your Admissions application is accepted.  If you fail to enroll for the term for which you were accepted, your account will automatically terminate.

• Alumni -Auburn students who graduated after 2010 currently retain the use of their email account, though this policy is subject to change.  
  
  • However, accounts which go 12 months without being accessed will be deleted or suspended.
    
  • Please refer to the KB Article titled Email Account for Alumni for more information on how to access this email account.

• Retirees - Employees who retire are eligible to keep their account.  Due to a recent update to email policies, the procedures surrounding this may soon change from an automated process to a by-request process.  Please refer to the link above or contact your departmental IT Staff for instructions.

• AU Affiliates - Affiliates may include Visiting Scholars, vendors, or contractors.  Auburn offers the option of a mail forwarding entry in lieu of an email account for Affiliates, depending upon the needs of the sponsoring department.  Affiliates are typically sponsored by a department for a term no longer than one year.
