Wherever life after graduation takes you, your Pitt Email (Outlook) will follow along, too...

Beginning with spring 2015 graduates, graduating students can keep their Pitt Email (Outlook) mailbox, including all of the contents, for as long as they like. This means you continue to send and receive email messages from your username@pitt.edu email address. Any email aliases that you created while you were a student at Pitt will still be active, and the University's Enterprise Spam and Virus Filter service will continue to protect your email. Best of all, you don't need to do anything. After graduation, you will receive an email message informing you that your student account will be transitioning automatically to an alumni account on a specified date.

As an alumnus, you will also have access to a variety of other IT services, including your Pitt Password Manager (LastPass) premium account; access to the Student Information System (PeopleSoft)/PS Mobile to check your grades, request a transcript, or obtain an enrollment verification; access to PittNet Wi-Fi while on campus, and more.

Keep in mind that alumni will not have access to all the computing services they use today as a student. For example, you won't have access to any files stored on pitt.box.com, and most of the software titles you obtained (including Microsoft Office) will expire upon graduation.
