When you graduate, your Student Computing Account will automatically convert to an Alumni Account. Your access to free software, cloud storage, official email, and 24/7 support will change. See the Graduation Checklist for a summary of things to consider, or keep reading.
As a Pitt student, you have access to free Cloud storage by Microsoft OneDrive and Electronic Research Notebooks (LabArchives). Upon graduation, you will no longer be able to access these same Pitt-sponsored accounts. Be sure to save your files before you lose access to this cloud storage.

Your time at Pitt might be coming to an end, but that doesn't mean you can't keep using some of Pitt's services.
Most software titles will expire with your graduation. However, before you graduate, you may download one copy of Office 2021 or 2019 (desktop edition) from pitt.onthehub.com and use it for as long as you like.
Your official Pitt email address does not expire upon graduation, so you can continue using your @pitt.edu address (and any aliases you created while you were a student) to send and receive messages.
The University of Pittsburgh continues to serve you after graduation. Order a transcript and have it delivered via email or through our secure, electronic PDF delivery process. You can also view your grades with Pitt PS Mobile.
24/7 IT Help Desk support continues for the tools and services you continue to use from Pitt after graduation. Support topics include Pitt Email via Microsoft Office 365, Parchment transcript ordering, Student Information System (PeopleSoft and Pitt PS Mobile), PittPAY, University Computing Account self-service, PittNet Wi-Fi when visiting campus, and Eduroam access at participating institutions.
