IU E-mail and Account Options for Graduating Students
Graduating students now have more options for continued access to IU e-mail. In addition to qualifying for an IU Alumni Association (Windows Live Hotmail) e-mail account, graduating students may choose to create an Imail account (powered by Microsoft) and/or Umail account (powered by Google).
IUAA E-mail Accounts
Permanent IU alumni e-mail accounts (username@alumni.iu.edu) and Instant Messenger dynamic display pictures are now available for all May graduates. Show your spirit with display pictures customized for IU and IUPUI. To create your new IU alumni e-mail account, see:
Imail and Umail Accounts
Imail and Umail accounts (username@indiana.edu or username@iupui.edu, for example), hosted by Microsoft and Google, respectively, offer additional services besides e-mail. Both services provide access to a calendaring feature, instant messaging, and document and spreadsheet applications along with a wealth of storage. As alumni, you are entitled to have an account on one of these systems. Sign up today at:

After creating additional e-mail accounts, it is important to update your preferred e-mail address. This step is included in the account creation process for Imail and Umail but requires an extra step by you when creating the IU alumni e-mail account. Information on forwarding e-mail from your IU e-mail address to your new alumni e-mail account can be found at:
