Alum Email
Email Service and Policy
Hampshire College offers a free account to all alums and those with electronic academic records. To request your account or reactivate an inactive account (password remained expired for 6 months and was deleted), please email alumni@hampshire.edu.
When a student account is converted to an alum account, the account's access to any data on any Hampshire College computing resources not explicitly granted to an alum may be removed. Examples of Hampshire College resources granted to alums include access to Gmail, TheHub, and some electronic Library resources listed in the Alum Access section of the Library's Circulation Policies.
Email accounts will remain accessible to the alums as long as they are active and maintained. Inactive alum accounts, defined as those with a password that has expired for at least 6 months, may be deleted without notice. If the account is deleted, all email, address book entries, and personalization in the account will be lost. The Gmail account will be available to the alum for reactivation, but old emails cannot be recovered.
Alum access to Hampshire’s Google Drive will be removed on January 31 of each year.
We allow users to forward their Hampshire email (login required) to another email account. All new emails will be delivered to an account you specify. If using this option, we recommend that you configure your email program to have the option to send mail using your Hampshire account information.
Spouses, partners, other family members, or friends are not eligible for an account on the College's email system.

Acceptable Use
The College permits personal correspondence through College accounts as long as such correspondence does not excessively burden the College's network or servers. Additional guidelines may apply to email sent to College mail lists.
The email system may not be used to transmit sexually explicit images or messages that may be construed as harassment, nor may it be used for any communications that contain ethnic slurs, racial epithets, or anything that may be reasonably construed as disparagement of others based on race, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, religious, or political beliefs.
