Summary
This article explains how retirees can create a personal email account and set up an auto‑reply in their UTHSC email before access ends. Retirees retain their UTHSC email address for 30 days after retirement.
Prerequisites
- UTHSC retiree status
- Ability to create an email account with a personal email provider
- Access to your UTHSC email account during the 30‑day post‑retirement window
Instructions
Create a Personal Email Account
You may create a personal email account using any major email provider. Common options include:
Notify Your Contacts
Once your personal email account is created, notify your contacts of your new email address. You may send a message directly or set up an auto‑reply in your UTHSC email account.
Set Up an Auto‑Reply in Your UTHSC Email
Before your UTHSC email access ends, set an automatic reply that includes your new personal email address. This ensures colleagues, vendors, and other contacts know how to reach you after your UTHSC account is deactivated.
Troubleshooting
- Verify that your personal email account is active before setting your auto‑reply.
- If you cannot access your UTHSC email, contact the Service Desk for assistance during your 30‑day access period.
- Ensure your auto‑reply clearly lists your new personal email address.
Additional Notes
- Retirees retain access to their UTHSC email account for 30 days after retirement.
- After 30 days, the UTHSC email account is permanently deactivated.
