New Arrangement for Providing Graduate E-mail Accounts for Graduating Students

Starting from July 2000, a new arrangement will be in place to provide Graduate E-mail Accounts for all graduating students who have valid computer accounts on the HKUSUA server to facilitate their communications with the University and other alumni after their graduation.

In the past, graduating students had to apply for the Graduate E-mail Account by filling in an electronic application form on the web. With the new arrangement, the Graduate E-mail Account will be automatically created for a graduate when the status of his record maintained by the Registry is changed to "graduated".

An e-mail will be sent to inform our new graduates when their free Graduate E-mail Accounts are created. The graduate email accounts are maintained on the "graduate.hku.hk" server. The account name and password will be the same as those on the HKUSUA server. For example, if a student's HKUSUA account name is 'h9876543' and password is 'testtest', then the account name and password for his new graduate account will also be 'h9876543' and 'testtest' respectively. The only difference is that the server hosting his email account will be "graduate.hku.hk" instead of "hkusua.hku.hk". In the example just cited, the Graduate E-mail address would be 'h9876543@graduate.hku.hk'. Graduates can now change their account names at the web page http://www.hku.hk/convocat/alumni_email.htm.

The above arrangement of automatic account creation does not apply to University alumni who have graduated before July 2000. Previous graduates must apply for the free e-mail account by filling out an electronic form at the webpage http://www.hku.hk/convocat/alumni_email.htm.

Graduating students are advised of the following:

Your HKUSUA account will be deleted after a grace period of 31 days from the date of graduation.
Please ensure to make copies of your files and/or e-mails which you wish to keep or transfer them to another system to which you will have access before your HKUSUA account is deleted.
Please ensure to notify your regular e-mail correspondents of the change of your e-mail address before expiry of your HKUSUA account..
Please remember to cancel all mailing list subscription before your HKUSUA account is deleted so as to avoid any undesirable effects which may be imposed on our network.
Please note that the email forwarding function for your HKUSUA account will not work after the account is deleted.

Please contact the undersigned for further enquiries.
