Graduating Students

Congratulations new (or soon-to-be-new) Alumni of Emory University! Here's what you need to know going forward.

Your Emory Account Access:

Access to all Emory services that require logging in with a netID and password will end upon account deactivation (see timing below). This includes a loss of access to:

• Your Microsoft 365 account, including online and installed applications and files (Emory email, Excel, OneDrive, etc.)
• EmoryUnplugged Wi-Fi and VPN 
• Library databases and other online resources 

The accounts of former Emory students are deactivated based on graduation date:

• May graduating student accounts begin the deactivation process in mid-September 
• August & December graduating student accounts begin the deactivation process in mid-May 

Access to your OPUS account will remain to request transcripts. Questions regarding OPUS after your network account is deactivated should be sent to OPUSHELP@listserv.cc.emory.edu.

Immediate Action Steps:

• Back up your files: Access to your Emory OneDrive account will end. Download and save your files elsewhere in an account not tied to your Emory Email address:
  
  • For Class notebooks and OneDrive  
  • For OneNote notebook and OneDrive

• Get new Email with Alumni Services: After the deactivation date, you will no longer have access to your @emory.edu email address. You can create an @alumni.emory.edu email account, powered by Google, when you sign into the Emory Online Community.  For more information on how to access your alumni email address, please visit alumni.emory.edu/email.

• Back up your Emory Microsoft 365 emails. Consider setting up an auto-reply with your new contact info in your Emory email account using the Automatic Reply Notification feature (click on the top right gear shift in your O365 account and type Auto in the search box to access the feature). 

• Consider current Emory email usage: Change accounts using your Emory email address as either a contact, a login, or as a backup address (e.g., iCloud, Google backup address, Linked In and other career sites, and anywhere else you have used your Emory email address). 

• Return equipment, books, storage drives and other library materials. For questions about your access to library materials, contact "Ask A Librarian."

• Remove Clearpass once no longer living on campus: If you lived in the residence halls, you likely have Clearpass installed on your device.  Once you have moved off campus with no future plans to return, uninstall ClearPass.
