As of November 4, 2021, all Jefferson student email accounts will remain active for six months after graduation. What that means is student email accounts (@students.jefferson.edu) will be deactivated on the first day of the month, six months after a student’s official date of graduation. Please note the six months is aligned with the official date of graduation, not the dates of the Commencement ceremonies.
Please refer to the information below to assist you in planning your email account transition from your Jefferson student email account to your personal email account, and to learn how you can remain connected through the Jefferson Alumni Network.
