As you prepare to graduate from Goshen College, take the following steps to make sure you have what you need before you leave. All ITS services (student computer account, GC online account, Email access, print balance, etc.) will be disabled six months after your last day of classes, except as stated below. All personal files on your M: Drive and W: Drive will be deleted one year after your last day of classes. You will only be able to access GC webmail for six months after your last day of classes. After six months, any email messages still stored in webmail will be deleted. Before that time, be sure to forward to yourself any old email messages you wish to keep, or use our archive tool to download a .zip file containing all your webmail. If you set up a forwarding address before that time, any new emails will be forwarded to your new address for up to one year after your last day of classes. For example, if your last day of classes is May
15th, webmail will be disabled on November 15th. Your new
messages can continue to be forwarded to a new email account until May
15th of the following year. After that date, all email sent to your
GC email account will be bounced back to the sender. You will not be able to
retrieve old email after the six-month period has expired. To Forward your new email:
