Olin Accounts
- Ensure that your account is configured for Self-Service Password Reset, as you will continue to be responsible for managing this account for continued access to your email account and the Olin portal (my.olin.edu).
- Network permissions, VPN, and access to all cloud based applications, such as Microsoft and Adobe will remain active for approximately six weeks after graduation. Specific dates are listed above. At that time, all of these accounts and permissions will become inaccessible.
- Students who are continuing to take classes enrolled through Olin must be properly registered with the Registrar's Office to continue to access Olin resources.
- Graduating students who will be working for Olin in any capacity must be hired into a job through Olin Human Resources.
Email Accounts
All graduated students will have an @alumni.olin.edu email address added to their account approximately 3 weeks after graduation when the Registrar's Office finalizes the graduating class. Once created, this will become your primary email address. You will continue to have full access to all emails sent to your @alumni.olin.edu address as well as your @olin.edu address.
What this means to you
- Your student mailbox will become your alumni mailbox so you will retain full access to past emails as well as the ability to send new emails from @alumni.olin.edu.
- You can continue to manage your Olin alumni email through the Office 365 portal (https://portal.office.com). Log in with your username@olin.edu and current password. If you would prefer to forward your alumni account to a personal address, use the search feature on the portal for forwarding help. If your current student email account is forwarding, this forwarding will continue with your alumni account.
- You will be issued a new alumni address of username@alumni.olin.edu.
- You will retain your current email address of username@olin.edu.
- You will continue to log into the Office 365 portal (http://portal.office.com) with your current log on of username@olin.edu.
Data
- Your Microsoft OneDrive storage will continue uninterrupted as an alum.
- You should backup and remove all other files and folders from all network resources. This includes your personal network storage space, Public, Sandbox, Adobe Creative Cloud storage, and any group folders. Once purged, data will no longer be available or recoverable.
- All graduating student data, including personal folders, web folders, etc. will be purged from network resources approximately six weeks after graduation.
- If you are listed as the owner of a mailman list you must transfer ownership to a student who will be returning to Olin in the fall. Mailing lists owned by inactive students will be disabled.
Laptops
- Your Dell laptop's warranty and complete care policy will expire mid-July.
- If you will be in the general area, we can continue to service your laptop until the warranty expires, otherwise, you may contact Dell directly to have an on-site service technician dispatched for service.
- We recommend that you backup all data from your laptop, and perform a full reset to the Windows 11 factory image. [Click here for Windows 11 factory reset instructions.]

- All programs that are licensed for the cloud from Microsoft and Adobe which will stop functioning as the licensing will be expired. Be sure to move any cloud files to a more accessible location.
