Before Leaving Haas

Graduating students will be automatically enrolled in the Alumni Email Service, so you can keep using your @berkeley.edu email after graduation. No need to opt in or register.

Alumni will receive more information during their grace period on meeting the activity requirement and how to keep their account in good standing.

For more detailed information, please visit the Alumni Email Service page.

Other relevant information and resources can be found on:

• • the Berkeley Haas Alumni Email Services page
  • the UC Berkeley Alumni Portal

Note: Access to your bMail, bDrive, and other bConnected apps related to the Berkeley Google for Education Workspace may terminate following your graduation and/or the end of your CalNet grace period. If you would like to retain files from your Workspace, we recommend downloading or backing them up.

Your CalNet account will transition to alumni status within a few weeks following your graduation.  Once this happens, you will no longer have access to services like, Campus encrypted wifi services (eduroam and Berkeley-IoT), Haas WebPrint printing, bCourses, and study.net.

If you would like to retain files from your bConnected or bCourses accounts, we recommend copying or downloading them ahead of your CalNet account conversion.

All UC Berkeley- and Haas-licensed software are concurrent with an active CalNet status.  Campus software include: the Microsoft Office Suite, Adobe Creative Cloud, and bSecure Remote Access VPN, among others (view the full Campus software catalog here).  Haas-licensed services include: Bloomberg and FactSet onsite and virtual programs.

At some point after your CalNet account is transitioned, or comes to the end of its grace period, these software licenses will expire, and you will no longer have access to them.

Student access to the Haas Event Management System (EMS) and network printing (WebPrint) will be available only through the last day of their final semester at Haas.

The Haas Program Offices* will be sponsoring your class’ Slack subscription for one year following your class’ original scheduled graduation date. After the one-year extension period expires, you can choose to join the Haas Alumni Slack Workspace.

*This applies for the MBA programs. You can check your eligibility for the extended Slack account by reaching out to your program office.

UC Berkeley-licensed Zoom accounts are synchronous with active CalNet identities and access to it will expire once the CalNet account becomes inactive or unaffiliated.

This expiration usually occurs at the end of your grace period (see the CalNet Grace Period section below) and from that point on, if you should need to join a Haas/UC Berkeley-sponsored meeting, you would have to use a personal Zoom account or call in by phone.

Upon graduation, Campus moves your student CalNet identity into a grace period to allow you time to log out of or close accounts and/or back up your files.

Campus defines this student grace period as 274 days immediately following your graduation date.

Following this period, your CalNet will be de-activated and your access to Campus accounts and software disabled.
