Account activation is based on registration, not on graduation. Typically accounts stay open one year after the last completed semester. If a student is not registered for three full semesters and has no other active role at UNM (such as staff or affiliate), on the first day of the fourth inactive semester the student's NetID is marked for deletion. Following the standard sixty-five day deletion cycle the NetID and associated email account is locked seven daysafter the initial 'marked for deletion' date.
For example, if youlast took a class in Fall 2016 your account would remain active through the Fall 2017 semester. If, on the first day of the Spring 2018 semester, you are not registered for classes and don't have any other active role at UNM, your NetID is marked for deletion. See FastInfo 6269 - What happens during the 65 day NetID deletion cyle?for more information.
Accounts are rarely extended after the one year grace period. At this time UNM does not provide email accounts for alumni. However, if you have a continuing association with UNM, you may be able to extend your account.
