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 and you would like to reactivate it to access alumni resources, such as the My Berkeley Alumni Portal, you may request one by completing the UC Berkeley CalNet Alumni Access Request Form 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?
Every new graduate will be automatically enrolled into the Alumni Email Service. To opt out of this service, fill out this Alumni Email Service Cancellation Form.
To maintain consistent access, you must meet the ongoing activity requirement, and abide by the responsibilities and requirements outlined in the Alumni Email Service Level Agreement (SLA). Additionally, you must reduce your overall storage to maintain the ability to send and receive email, and retain access to your files.
