Description:

McMaster alumni do not retain access to the @mcmaster.ca account used as active students. 

Please click the link to learn more. Information is available under the question "Does my email account expire"

Solution: 

Regaining Access to Your @mcmaster.ca Account: The Alumni Association offers Email forwarding for those wanting to keep their McMaster related email address. 

Please refer to their website for information on email forwarding:


Please note:

The only option available to alumni is email forwarding through the Alumni Association.

 The Alumni should set up forwarding through the alumni office when your email account is expired (as indicated with the field Email Expiry in the MacIAM portal).

 Alumni will receive Advance notifications of when email access will be removed.

Important: 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.


Additional Info:

If you need to maintain your account for research or other work purposes, your supervisor must submit a POI request for you.
