Account Deactivation

All Southeastern students who will graduate at the completion of the Fall 2024 semester (and are NOT returning to Southeastern for an additional degree), this is a reminder that your email account will be deactivated 90 days after the conferral of your degree. You are encouraged to complete the 8 steps listed below prior to March 10, 2025, for an easy transition.  This means you will no longer be able to access:

  • ​​​​​​​Contacts

Please know that you remain a valuable part of the Southeastern family, and we want to provide you with information and resources to make the transition as easy as possible.  Check out the tips below to make sure you are prepared for this transition.

How to Prepare for Deactivation

Account holders should do the following:

1.) Obtain an alternate email account.

You can obtain a personal Google Gmail account in order to have some of the same features that were available from your Southeastern email account.

2.) Export your contacts to your new account.

Use these directions to transfer your contacts to another email account.

3.) Change the email account to which services are linked via multi factor authentication.

Remember to change the email account associated with any subscription services that currently direct information to your Southeastern email account. Do this for any services or websites for which password retrieval or billing is linked to your Southeastern email account.

4.) Forward emails to your new email/gmail account.

Use the search box in your Southeastern Gmail account to search for personal messages from family and friends, emails with photos, receipts, tax documents and other email you wish to keep. These messages can be forwarded to your new email account.  Select multiple emails by checking the box to the left of the message, RIGHT-CLICK the highlighted messages and select the ‘FORWARD AS ATTACHMENT’ option. Enter your new email address and click Send.

5.) Download personal files from your Google Drive.
