Yale University has no obligation to forward email or to support external services for persons who leave the University. Departing individuals should therefore  make their own arrangements in establishing a new Internet Service Provider (ISP) and new email account.

However, making the transition to a new position outside the University can be made smoothly if the following general guidelines are kept in mind:

• Plan for the disposition of your email account with your supervisor. Both of you can determine how best to handle email so that the office can continue to serve or fulfill business requests.
• Notify your major correspondents of your new email address and the date it will be active.
• Discontinue subscriptions to mailing lists.
• For more information regarding email services contract ITS User Accounts. The User Accounts Office is a division of Yale Information Technology Services. User Accounts activates and/or creates NetIDs, changes passwords, sets up email accounts and a variety of remote access accounts.
