While many of our alumni initially want to keep their Gmail accounts post-graduation to stay in touch with friends or seek jobs, over time many of them will abandon their accounts. Accounts that are abandoned will eventually have stale passwords and may become targets for hackers. To minimize the risk, you will be sent several email reminders 1 month before your account is suspended.
Failure to renew the account will result in suspension and eventual deletion. Once your account is deleted, it is irrecoverable and you will not be given another account.
