What happens to my CalNet account after I graduate?
After you graduate, there is a grace period where you can still use your CalNet to login to campus services such as CalCentral. After the grace period, your CalNet will transition to an Alumni account with access to campus services available to alum. Learn more about Alumni CalNet accounts and policies.
*Note that an Alumni CalNet account is different from an Alumni Berkeley email, which has a seperate renewal process (see below).
What happens to my CalNet account if I don’t renew it?
If your CalNet account expires, you would need to find a staff member on campus to sponsor you if you wanted to reactivate it. Note: this is separate from maintaining your Berkeley email account, so when you graduate check your email regularly for instructions on how to maintain access to your Berkeley email.
How do I ensure I keep access to my bMail account after graduation?
Current students must wait until they complete their studies or graduate before renewing their @berkeley.edu Google account as an alum. You will be notified as your account enters its grace period. During your grace period, claim your alumni email account by following these steps
