Once you graduate, any content you created as a student will be deleted in July unless you move it to a personal account. This includes research, files, project work, and emails in these applications:
- Google Drive
- Gmail
- Adobe
- MS Office
- Box
What You Need to Do BEFORE July 2025
Review & relocate your online content
Move content you want to save to a personal account. For shared files, move them to Google Shared drives or a Box Group account so your collaborators can continue to access them.
Request an ND Alumni account
The Notre Dame Alumni Association (NDAA) offers alumni the chance to get a Gmail account linked to the University after graduation. Your alumni gmail account includes Gmail and Google Calendar.
Update your online accounts
Did you use your student email address to register for websites or other online services (social media, your bank, Apple ID, YouTube, PayPal etc.)? If so, update your account with your alumni email address or another personal email address.
Transition your 1Password account
Once you graduate, you will still have access to the passwords in your Family Account. However, the account will be locked until you either purchase the 1Password service or choose to move your passwords to another password manager service.
Remove licensed software from your computer
This includes software that was available to you as a student for academic use only. This software will no longer work once your student NetID is deactivated.
