Your alumni email account is created after your qualification – this happens approximately 120 days after the student office mark you as qualified. Your new alumni email address will follow the form username@southamptonalumni.ac.uk.
Your alumni account is for email and calendar only. Your alumni account will replace your old student account and you will not be able to access emails via SUSSED.
All your old emails, contacts, sent items and calendar will automatically be migrated to your new alumni account. Your username (in the form username@soton.ac.uk) and password will be the same as it always has been.
You will also lose your access to any services linked to your student account, like the following ones:
Your alumni username will be the one you had as a student in the form username@soton.ac.uk (for example: ab1c22@soton.ac.uk).
Your password will be the most recent one you used for your student email account.
You may be asked to approve Window’s Multifactor Authentication.
You will still be able to receive and read emails sent on your old student email address. These emails will be redirected to your alumni email address.
The emails sent from your alumni account will be sent from your alumni email address (username@southamptonalumni.ac.uk).
