UNSW Life E-mail Account

The UNSW Alumni Life E-mail is an email account provided by UNSW that allows you to keep just one e-mail address for life. This e-mail address also acts as a gateway for many of the other exclusive benefits available to UNSW Alumni.

It will:

  • provide you with a 40 megabyte capacity e-mail account with the university's excellent spam and filtering protection;
  • help you to maintain better contact with UNSW friends;
  • provide you with up-to-the-minute news on University activities, as well as opportunities for continuing study and intellectual development;
  • allow you to tag your “alma mater” brand to your e-mail address and with it the prestige of being identified as a UNSW alumnus;
  • be the last e-mail address you'll ever need - you can use it as an e-mail account or forward it to any other existing e-mail account.
Once activated, Alumni Life E-mail allows you to choose an easily remembered e-mail address based upon your name e.g. mary.tan@UNSWAlumni.com. You’ll then be given three options for using your new address:

  • a web-based email service hosted by UNSW – this is a full e-mail service, featuring 40 megabytes of storage and excellent spam and filtering protection via the UNSW Unimail system;
  • access via your existing e-mail client, such as Outlook or Eudora – this still gives you the full service as above;
  • e-mail forwarding – you can forward your new address to an existing service provider such as Hotmail or Yahoo (storage and other features determined by your provider).
To get your UNSW Alumni Life E-mail now, proceed to the activation page.
