What happens to my e-mail after I graduate?
A couple of months after your graduate from Gettysburg (usually July 1st), your account will be removed from the system. This includes your e-mail, calendar, H drive, and CNAV account.
Graduates will automatically be converted to Alumni CNAV accounts; the first time you login as an alumnus, you will be asked to provide an email address to forward any email addressed to your CNAV account address. Alums must keep their email address updated for the forwarding from their alumni address to work properly.
Although CNAV does have tools for alumni, myGettysburg Alumni is accessible from every page of the Gettysburg College website. myGettysburg has more advanced features, such as a searchable alumni directory, address and employment updates, events in your area, unofficial transcripts and class news. You may request a myGettysburg account here. myGettysburg Alumni access for recent graduates will be available in July.
Windows -- Seniors using Microsoft Office Professional 2007/2010 can save their Gettysburg email to the computer's hard drive. Please use these instructions for setting up Outlook on your computer and backing up your Gettysburg mail box.
Mac -- to save your Gettysburg email to your mac, please click on the link that applies to you.
I received an e-mail saying I am over my limit, what do I do?
Gettysburg College students are given 150 MB for their e-mail on the servers. If you go over this limit you will not be able to receive any e-mail and will receive a notification that you are over the allowed limit. A couple ways to clean out your e-mail are to delete any e-mails you don't need, empty the deleted items folder, and delete any e-mails that have large attachments.
You can check to see if you are within the mailbox limit by hovering over your mailbox name to get your mailbox size.
