       • If they don’t graduate they don’t keep their @edu

     • Current Alumni

       • Current alumni are on one of three different mail platforms:
         • Undergrads wh graduated since we’ve moved to Office 365 will have an Office 365 email account (@edu).
         • Undergrads wh graduated prior to this will have mailservices (if they had that during school).
         • Undergrads wh graduated prior to mailservices may have no email account, but the may still use a mail forward to have “@uwaterloo.ca” mail delivery address, forwarded to an off campus email address
       • Grad student alumni will have mailservices or connect email accounts, depending on when they graduated. They keep these accounts once they graduate.

     • Graduate students

       • Grad students have connect accounts, which they keep once they graduate.
       • If a graduate student does not finish their grad program, their connect acct may be deleted at any time. There is not an automatic process to do this at the moment, but there have been clean ups done.
