I forwarded my email as a student, do I need to do this?

Yes, if you don’t claim your student account, it will be closed down nine months after you graduate and you will no longer be able to receive emails. But good news! It will be easy and fast to claim your berkeley.edu account when the new service launches in the fall of 2016.

What happens if I don’t claim my email addresses?

If you are a 2016 graduate, you have nine months after your graduation to claim your berkeley.edu account. After nine months, it will be closed and you will lose access to all emails and attachments in your account. But claiming your account will be quick and easy! You’ll be able to claim your address and account in the fall of 2016.
