Effective Nov. 1, 2025, UMass Lowell will discontinue email access for retirees without an active university role. This change aligns with UMass system-wide practices and supports more efficient management of email licensing and storage.
Following this change:
- Retirees who are not actively engaged with the university will have their @uml.edu accounts deactivated.
- Retirees with an active role may retain access if their status is formally recognized:
- For retirees working for UMass Lowell (paid roles): Must be active in the HR system.
- Unpaid roles: A Sponsored Guest Form must be submitted and renewed annually.
- Active roles may include contract/consulting work, teaching, research, advisory positions, Emeritus status, and/or volunteering.
Retirees will receive direct email communications this week, in September, and in October to help them prepare.
