ACMS deactivates student accounts when the student is no longer registered with the university. An account may be closed for other reasons as well.
Although your student account is deactivated, you can still receive email sent to your UCSD email address by redirecting your email to your personal email account (e.g., Gmail, Yahoo! Mail) for up to one year.
If you are still registered with the university, you also have the option of redirecting your email that is sent to your UCSD email address to your personal email account (e.g., Gmail, Yahoo! Mail) while you are student. Once you graduate, this service continues for up to one year.
Once you log into the redirect tool, you will enter the mailbox, or email address, you'd like your email to be delivered to.
To restore your mailbox so email is delievered to your UCSD account, enter in your full email address with your email server (e.g., username@sdcc17.ucsd.edu, username@acsmail.ucsd.edu).
If you are unable to access the redirect tool, please email postmaster@ucsd.edu with your request.
You may also use the ACMS Mail Filter Utility to set up dual-delivery (see "Forward a copy to another address"), which sends email to your UCSD email account, in addition to your personal email account.
