Although alumni will lose direct access to the Stevens Office 365 email, any incoming messages to the Stevens inbox can automatically be forwarded to alumni personal inboxes. This approach helps ensure security and users’ ability to continue receiving emails at their Stevens email address.
Enabling Alumni Email Forwarding
Alumni email forwarding will automatically start 90 days after degree conferral. However, this automated process requires a valid secondary email in a student’s myStevens (Okta) profile. Therefore, it is recommended that all students validate their secondary email in Okta before their graduation by following these steps:
Step 1: Log onto https://login.stevens.edu.
Step 2: On the top right of the Okta Dashboard, click on the drop-down arrow and select Settings.
Step 3: Review the "Secondary email" field to ensure it contains a correct, up-to-date personal email. This email will receive forwarded emails from the Stevens inbox.
Note: if the email in the “Secondary Email” is missing or needs to be updated, your email can be updated on Workday.
Changing the Alumni Email Forwarding Address
Once alumni email forwarding is enabled and in effect, users have the option to change or update their personal email to reroute email forwarding to another personal inbox by following these steps:
Step 1: Go to the Settings of your Okta Profile as seen in the steps above.
Step 2: In the “Alumni email forwarding address” field, remove the old email address and enter the new one.
Note: Do not modify the secondary email field.
Note: This update may take up to 24 hours to take effect.
Opting Out of Alumni Email Forwarding
Alumni are auto-enrolled into email forwarding, but users can opt out of email forwarding by following these steps:
Step 1: Go to the Settings of your Okta Profile as seen in the steps above.
Step 2: In the “Opt in of notifications” field, change the value from true (opt-in) to false (opt-out).
