Before You Start:
This article is for Undergraduate and MBA Wharton students. PhD Students should contact their Academic Distributed Representative.
Wharton Student Computing wants your technology transition at graduation to be as smooth as possible. To help you, we've compiled a list of items to make sure your email, files, and accounts are ready to go, and that you know all of the important dates for account closings.
Congrats on this major milestone!
Prepare Your Email for Transition
Your Google@Wharton account (Gmail, Google Docs, Google Drive, etc.) is deleted one year following graduation. Learn how to save important emails and begin forwarding to your Alumni Forwarding Address.
1) Set a Change of Address NoticeSet an Out of Office providing both your Alumni Forwarding Address and a personal email address. | 2) Begin ForwardingUse your Wharton Alumni Forwarding Address to maintain a Wharton e-mail that forwards to a personal account.
| 3) Transfer Your EmailsTransfer your Wharton emails to a personal account. We suggest starting this process shortly before or shortly following graduation. |
Managing Mailing Lists
Before you leave campus, unsubscribe from any mailing lists you're currently on. If you are the owner of a mailing list(s), identify and assign a new owner for the list. (Only current Wharton students can own mailing lists).

Migrate your G Suite Documents (for Club Owners)

1) Change Ownership for shared filesFollow Google's instructions to change the ownership for each file to another Wharton user. Yes, you have to do this for each file you want transferred! | 2) Backup all your filesUse the Google Takeout service to download a personal backup of all your Google Drive files. |
