Policy for provision and use of Studentmail
An e-mail account for life is available to all registered students, and Alumni, of the University of Aberdeen. Once opened, the account will remain so for life unless the user breaches;
- the University's Conditions for Using Information Technology Facilities [PDF]
- the Microsoft Service Agreement.
The content of an account will be automatically removed if not accessed for 180 consecutive days. If removed, an empty inbox will appear the next time the account is accessed.
Breaches of these conditions will be dealt with under the appropriate University disciplinary procedures and may, where it is alleged that an offence has occurred under any current UK or Scots law, be reported to the Police. When appropriate, the use of IT facilities may be suspended immediately, pending investigation by an authorised officer of the University.

DIT does not provide support for Studentmail once you have graduated from the University of Aberdeen. (If necessary, password changes can be made via the Studentmail interface. Login to www.outlook.com, click Options (top right), select Change your password from list of Shortcuts, and follow the onscreen guidelines. If you forget your password or if you have failed to set up your secret questions in Studentmail, go to: http://login.live.com/ and click Help Center at the foot of the page for guidance.)
