benefits

The benefits of being a Northeastern alumnus/a are rewarding, and as a member of the Northeastern alumni family you qualify for a variety of benefits and services offered by Alumni Relations in conjunction with key partners.

ITS Services & Systems

As a member of our alumni community, please note that while some resources will remain available to you, others will have limited access or will no longer be available post-graduation. We encourage you to download any important files or information to ensure continuity as you make the transition from student to alumni. 

NORTHEASTERN EMAIL ACCOUNT

Your Northeastern username and password will continue to be active for authentication purposes for your Microsoft 365 email and other systems. Following the completion of graduation requirements, your Northeastern account will be transitioned to full alumni status during the calendar year. 14 days prior to your account transition, you will receive an email from ITS.

Following this transition, you will only have access to alumni-focused services, some of which may require your Northeastern credentials and password for authentication.
