This guide provides information for McMaster alumni who wish to regain access to their @mcmaster.ca email accounts.

Regaining Access to Your @mcmaster.ca Account:

As a McMaster alumnus, you may have used your McMaster email address to create personal accounts (e.g., social media, banking, etc.) or as a contact address on resumes. 

McMaster Alumni do not retain access to the @mcmaster.ca account they used as students.  The Alumni Association does offer Email forwarding for those wanting to keep a McMaster related email address. 

Please refer to the information on the Alumni Association's webpage regarding this service: 

• https://alumni.mcmaster.ca/s/1439/17/interior.aspx?sid=1439&gid=1&pgid=4454Alumni Email Forwarding - McMaster Email Options

Please note: Before you can establish your email forwarding, your @mcmaster.ca email address must expire. If you still have access to your @mcmaster.ca inbox, you are not eligible for email forwarding. Unfortunately, an unavoidable interruption in service occurs between your email address expiration and the activation of email forwarding.

Q. After students graduate, when does an email become inactive?

Ans. @mcmaster.ca email expires after your convocation.
