    Does anyone know how long your UCD email account stays active for?

    I have heard that there is a certain point where you lose your @ucd.ie email address whereas with the likes of Trinity etc you can have the email address indefinitely

    I'm a masters student so have been here for a year almost now and i use this email address for correspondence outside the college so wondering if i need to send my emails to an alternative email address just in case

    Thanks

    As far as I know, you lose it the October-ish after you finish your degree. So 2013 grads lose it this October - but maybe this is only for undergrads, as they're the only people I've heard say this.

    However, as a student, you have an @ucdconnect.ie address, not a @ucd.ie one, assuming what you said is a typo.

    UCD should really allow students to keep their address, even for a fee. Would be a good income stream for them. Don't know why they don't do it already.

    It's used as proof of educational status. Not sure, but I thought the account lasted for several months after graduation.

    When I graduated from my undergrad my email lasted all through the Summer. It was cut off when the following term started.

    Trinity used to be even quicker to cut off maybe it's changed.

    What if your doing a 5 year course split as a 3 and a 2 bsc. And masters. But taking a year out between the grad 3rd year an beginning 4th year? Will it still go after the summer?

    You can keep your @tcd.ie email for life when you graduate from Trinity.

    Your UCD email account remains active for 90 days after your programme finishes apparently. I assume by 'finishes' they mean final result.
