Temple to Discontinue Alumni Access to TUmail
Temple is 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.
You 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:
- Your @temple.edu email address will no longer be valid (i.e., you will not be able to send, receive or view any emails).
- If you stored files in OneDrive, they will be permanently deleted.
- You will no longer have access to Microsoft 365 services (such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, OneDrive, Outlook) from your Temple AccessNet account.
What is the reason for this change?
We have arrived at this difficult decision after a thorough review of cybersecurity risks, national higher education best practices and email usage rates.
What Should I Do Now to Prepare?
- To keep your e-mail messages, forward them to your personal account or save them to an alternate location.
- To keep files you may have on OneDrive, download them to your device or copy them to an external drive or cloud storage service.
- Wherever you registered your Temple email address (for example, websites and contact lists), make sure to update it with an external non-Temple personal email address. Otherwise, you will no longer receive email messages sent to your @temple.edu address.
- Set up an email autoreply to inform people that your account is about to expire and that they should start using your personal, non-Temple email address.
- Be aware that if you forward your Temple email to another email address, this will stop working once your TUmail account is discontinued.
- If you haven't already updated your Temple alumni contact information, please take a moment to do so now.
