Alumni GoPortal Accounts

淫性视频 has made the decision to discontinue offering alumni email accounts six months after graduation. While this decision was a difficult one, the University feels it is necessary to secure our digital infrastructure against modern cyberthreats. 淫性视频 continually evaluates the efficiency and security of our entire network. As part of this evaluation, we have identified alumni email accounts as being especially susceptible to attack.

We understand that the decision to discontinue alumni email accounts may be disappointing for some of you who have been using them regularly. However, we want to assure you that this decision was made after careful consideration of the security and efficiency of our systems. We have noticed that most alumni have preferred other personal email services, and that the majority of alumni accounts have been inactive and vulnerable to cyberattacks. Therefore, we have decided to follow the best practices of many other institutions and phase out the alumni email service. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding, and we are here to help you transition to a new email account and keep in touch with the 淫性视频 community.

The university aims to enhance security, reduce service redundancy, and focus on the evolving needs of current students.

What are the security concerns with alumni email accounts?
Alumni email accounts are susceptible to data breaches and hacking attempts, especially when inactive. Phasing them out reduces these risks.

Can I forward my Alumni email to a new address?  
Unfortunately you cannot forward your email to a new email address.

Are there alternatives to alumni email accounts?
Yes, alumni can use free, secure email services like Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo, which may offer more features than university accounts.

How does using a personal email address benefit alumnus?
A personal email account formatted in a professional manner, such as firstname.lastname@gmail.com, enhances the professional image and facilitates better contact outside the university.

How does phasing out alumni email accounts simplify communication for Alumni?
It establishes clearer boundaries between current students and alumni, simplifies administrative processes, and ensures updated contact information for university communications.

What is the university's goal in making this decision?
The goal is to secure accounts, reduce redundancy, and better focus on the university's needs, fostering a strong alumni community through other methods of communications.
