UCF alumni will no longer have access to their @Knights.UCF.edu email account for life. Instead, recent alumni will be able to retain their NID@UCF.edu email account for one year after graduation before the account is closed. UCF has seen a decreased usage in @Knights.UCF.edu email, combined with the opportunity for long-term cost efficiencies and increased cyber security potential resulting in the decision to discontinue the lifetime alumni email service at UCF. In addition, this change follows the trend of other national universities discontinuing alumni email service, including the University of Florida. There is no option to purchase additional years or to provide an extension past June 1, 2024.
