What Happens to My Account?
Your Oxy account will remain open for at least a year after graduation. You will then receive an email from ITS notifying you of your upcoming account deactivation. Once the email account closes, your access to Oxy applications that use this account will be unavailable (e.g., Google, Moodle, MyOxy). Your Oxy account data will be deleted one year from the date of account closure.
Forward your email
You'll keep access to your Oxy Gmail account address, but not your mailbox where the mail is stored, after you graduate.听To email forwarding, use the Alumni Directory听by registering an account on the听.
If you have used your Oxy account to sign up for personal services online (Netflix, Doordash, etc.), please be sure to change the associated login to a personal (non-Oxy) account. Also set up email forwarding for password recovery purposes.
