Important Computing Information for Graduating Students

From: Computing

CONGRATULATIONS GRADUATE!

Information Technology wants you to know that your JMU e-ID and associated password will allow ongoing access to e-campus for certain functions such as transcripts as long as you keep your password current. Set an e-mail forwarding address in the Accounts Portal (accounts.jmu.edu) now to receive ongoing e-ID password change notifications and to forward any new e-mail sent to your current @jmu.edu address (see instructions below.)

IMPORTANT: Access to Webmail, Blackboard and other applications will only remain active for approximately 60 days after graduation.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR E-MAIL NEEDS:
1. Setup a new e-mail account with an Internet Service Provider (ISP), such as MS Live or Gmail before graduation.

2. Forward important e-mail messages that you want to keep from your JMU Webmail account to your new e-mail address before graduation. You will only be able to login to Webmail for approximately 60 days after graduation.

3. Set forwarding in the Accounts Portal to deliver new e-mail to your new ISP e-mail address: login to accounts.jmu.edu, click Directory Information/E-mail Forwarding, type in your new e-mail address, then click Submit Changes. You can change your forwarding e-mail address at any time. Forwarding will continue indefinitely.

4. Change mailing list (Listserv) subscriptions to use your new e-mail address.

5. Save your friends’ and references’ e-mail addresses and send them your new e-mail address.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR E-CAMPUS NEEDS:
1. Ensure your mailing addresses are current.

2. Ensure your telephone numbers are current.
