As commencement approaches and our students prepare to take their next steps beyond Chapman, we want to acknowledge the excitement of such a big transition. Our goal is to make this process as smooth and supportive as possible, especially when staying connected and accessing essential digital tools.

Alumni Email Access

Starting with the Class of 2025, graduates will retain access to their Chapman University email accounts for three years after completing their final class. This extended access period gives them the time and flexibility to transition communications, update their contact information, and save important personal data. We’re also applying this update retroactively. The graduating class of 2023 will keep their access until 2026; the graduating class of 2024 will keep their access until 2027. Anyone who graduated from Chapman University prior to 2023 will no longer have access after a six-month grace period. The alumni will receive several email notifications before their access expires.

Microsoft 365 and OneDrive

Alumni will also retain access to Microsoft 365 web apps and OneDrive storage for one year after graduation. We encourage our graduates to back up their files and move data to personal accounts as soon as possible to avoid disruption.

For step-by-step guidance and to learn about the graduates’ access to software and services, please visit the Alumni Tech Access Information Page.

We know this chapter of our graduates’ journey is filled with change, and we’re here to support them every step of the way. Whether they are heading off to a new job, grad school, or taking time to explore what’s next, they will always be part of the Chapman family.
