What happens to my account after I leave Johnson University?

Once a student leaves Johnson University, whether by graduation or other means, their account becomes classified as an Alumni account. The IT Department continues to provide email access to all alumni indefinitely. 

Due to licensing restrictions from Microsoft, Johnson University does not provide alumni with licensing for the Microsoft Office suite of desktop applications, including Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and others. Mobile apps may or may not be restricted depending on these same licensing restrictions. Alumni will continue to have permissions to access their JU email through the "Email" quick link on the left side of this page.

The Johnson University IT Department reserves the right to disable alumni accounts if the account poses a security threat, either through inactivity, suspicious account activity, or other means.  Alumni can regain access to their account by contacting the IT Department and requesting access.

The Microsoft Office suite is available for all current students and employees. Please follow this guide to download Microsoft Office on up to 5 devices, including laptops, phones, and tablets.
