If you’re a ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ alum looking for information about changes to your @colorado.edu email account, you’re exactly where you need to be. We’re here to guide you through what’s changing, why it’s happening and the simple steps you can take to stay connected.
What’s Changing — and What You Need to Know
ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ is discontinuing the alumni email program on Aug. 31, 2026, which means alumni @colorado.edu accounts will become inaccessible on that date. If you are a ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ student, staff or faculty member, your account will remain active while your affiliation to the university is current.
This decision supports long‑term security, compliance and responsible stewardship of university resources. A few key factors shaped this change:
Security: Inactive accounts create vulnerabilities that put users and university systems at risk.
Compliance: New security standards make long‑term support for alumni accounts unsustainable.
Cost, Usage and Stewardship: With low program usage and rising licensing costs, resources are being realigned to better support student success and campus priorities.
