Email Account Expiration

The following chart illustrates the general email account expiration policy: 

  VMail​ ​VUGmail
Faculty​ ​+4 months from last day of employment ​N/A
​Staff ​Expires the last day of employment ​N/A
Emeritus​ ​Never ​N/A
​Undergraduate Student ​+4 months from last day as an enrolled student ​Never
Former ​Undergraduate Student
and Vanderbilt Employee 		​Expires the last day of employment ​*Never
Graduate Student ​+4 months from last day as an enrolled student ​N/A

*Undergraduate VUGmail accounts are never expired. However if a student becomes a staff member and then leaves, he/she must get authorization from their direct supervisor for email delivery to their VU Gmail account to be re-activated.

* Undergraduates who continue on to graduate school will automatically have their email delivery changed from their VU Gmail account to their V-Mail exchange account. This happens once their student records profile change to show them as a graduate student (usually around graduation). Undergraduates will receive an email in their VU Gmail account informing them of when the change has occurred.
