CS Technical FAQ

Your Computer Science account is not kept indefinitely. It will be deleted upon its expiration date which for students is usually their expected graduation date. Also, once your account expires email to your CS address will stop.

Limited forwarding can be set up upon request by emailing support@cs.ucsb.edu. Note: Graduates of the Computer Science MS or PhD program are allowed forwarding for one year after account expiration. Graduates of the Computer Science undergraduate program are allowed forwarding for six months after account expiration.

However, the College of Engineering provides email forwarding for all UCSB CoE graduates. See their FAQ for details.

Graduates of the Computer Science MS or PhD program are also eligible for a CS alumni account. Information about how to obtain an alumni account can be found here.

Note: Both the CoE email forwarding and the CS alumni account will provide different email addresses than that of your current CS account.

For example:

CoE: <account@alumni.engr.ucsb.edu>
CS Alumni: <account@alumni.cs.ucsb.edu>
