Temple University will be discontinuing alumni access to Microsoft 365 services, which includes TUmail. The change applies to all alumni who graduated more than a year ago.
Access to these services will be removed gradually and in phases with the final phase concluding on May 7, 2025.
Beyond first year alumni can expect to receive an email with instructions on how to transfer your important files and data approximately one month in advance of your specific service end date.
How exactly will this change affect me? Once your access to these services is discontinued:
For the latest updates and instructions on how to prepare for the change, see the TUmail Retirement for Alumni website.
Why is Temple doing this? We have arrived at this difficult decision after a thorough review of cybersecurity risks, national higher education best practices and email usage rates.
Will I still have access to other alumni resources? Yes. You will also still have access to a number of alumni resources.

Current Status: Alert
New Time Limit for Retaining your Panopto Content
Effective January 6, 2025, Information Technology Services (ITS) is implementing a new time limit for retaining content on the Panopto video hosting platform (video.temple.edu). We are doing this to adhere to our contractual agreements with Panopto and limit potential risks associated with storing unused video content and user data.
Retention Timeline Details
In most cases, any content (including class captures) you have in Panopto that has NOT been viewed/played within the last 24 months (2 years) will be deleted on an ongoing basis. Note: If you are employed by the Temple University Libraries and University Press or are a student, faculty or staff member in one of the following professional schools, your retention time limit is 48 months (4 years):
Tips:
For more information review the ITS Panopto Retention Guidelines page.
FAQs
Will I be notified before my content is deleted? No. Unfortunately, due to a limitation of Panopto, we are currently unable to notify you before your content is deleted. We will, however, periodically send out general reminders of these retention guidelines. You can check the Last Viewed and Creation Dates of your videos to make sure they are not at risk of deletion.
Will my content still be viewable in Canvas once it is deleted? No. If you added a Panopto recording to your Canvas course, it will no longer be viewable once it is deleted from Panopto.
How will the new rules affect my non-video content? Non-video content (e.g., transcripts or quizzes) is subject to the retention time limit of the video with which it is associated.
For example, if a video has a last viewed date of May 10, 2024, but a quiz associated with that video was last viewed on September 1, 2023, the quiz will stay if the video stays.
How will this affect content migrated from Ensemble or Echo360? If your content was migrated from Ensemble (September 2022) or Echo360 (July 2023), the last viewing date is when the migration occurred, unless it was viewed more recently.
For example, if your video was migrated from Ensemble in September 2022 but later viewed on April 13, 2024, the retention time limit will be based on April 13, 2024.
Can I request an extension? Yes. Please submit your request along with a justification at tuhelp.temple.edu.
