Post-Graduation Information

Modified on Tue, 6 Aug at 2:39 PM

Graduating students can continue to use their Wake Forest student email account until after Commencement and the next Bar Exam.


Account Expiration

May graduates: 

JD and LLM: August 31
All other graduates: May 31

August graduates: 

May 31 (of the following year)

December graduates: 

May 31 (of the following year)


Wake Forest will continue to send all official communication (including information about Commencement) to your Wake Forest student email account. If you do not plan to continue using this account, we encourage you to forward your email to an account you check regularly.

All law school graduates are offered the opportunity to register for an alumni email account with an @alumni.wfu.edu email address.


To ensure a smooth transition, we have provided instructions for enabling email forwarding.


Important:  Alumni Gmail accounts do not include access to Google Drive and have a 25GB storage limit. 

If you intend to utilize Google Drive or to transfer Google Drive content out of your WFU student account, we recommend creating and using a Google One Account (free or paid) instead of an Alumni account to transfer your content.
