Emory Resource Access for Graduating Students, Sept 15

Congratulations Graduates! As you leave Emory, you will also lose access to your Emory resources. Emory resources, such as your email, Office 365 Apps, OneDrive, Apporto, and E-Journals, will lose access around September 15, 2021.  You cannot extend access to these resources until notified by email that the account will be disabled. The email notification will explain the necessary steps to take to extend your account at that time.

Steps to make your transition smoother:

• RSPH students can set up a permanent Emory alumni address, but this is not connected to your current Emory account. It acts as an Emory email address that will forward to an email address of your choice, such as your Gmail account. You can register for this here.
• Update your contact information here to begin taking advantage of the alumni benefits and services available to you!
• Save a copy of any files you may need from Emory network drives! Your H drive and OneDrive will be deleted.
