Alumni email - University of Birmingham

Alumni email service is being discontinued in 2026

The University of Birmingham is phasing out the alumni email service, which will be deactivated on 14 September 2026.

New alumni email accounts are no longer being provisioned. Students expected to graduate in July 2026 will have their student accounts extended from 30 days to 120 days to provide time to transfer important emails to personal accounts.

Existing accounts that have not been accessed for more than 18 months may be deactivated and subsequently deleted.

If you currently rely on your alumni email account, please ensure you log in regularly and begin migrating to an alternative email service.

Further communication will be sent to existing account holders about the discontinuation as the date approaches.

Help with an existing alumni email account

Up to 2025, University of Birmingham graduates were automatically enrolled in the alumni email service and given an @alumni.bham.ac.uk email address.
