Checklist for all Graduates
Library
- Set up an Alumni Library Card if you’d like to continue to check out items after graduation.
Microsoft 365
- Save data you want to keep.
BC Google
- Save data you want to keep.
- Transfer your BC emails, documents, and photos to a personal account. We suggest starting this process shortly before or shortly following graduation as the process may take over a week.
- Remove your BC email address from ALL online services such as LinkedIn, Twitter, banking, ticket purchases, etc.
- Once your BC account has expired, no recovery is possible through BC.
- Tip - Set an automatic reply in Google providing your personal email address. This way people who email you now will know how to contact you after your BC email account is closed.
Uninstall software you acquired through BC
- Some of the software you installed on your computer was installed under student licensing agreements, administered by the University. Since you are no longer a student, you should now remove Microsoft Office 2019 or 2016 software (Mac & Windows) from your computer in accordance with the respective manufacturer’s terms and conditions.
Stay Connected with the BC Alumni Association
- Take a moment to share a non-BC email address with the BC Alumni Association to make sure your connection with Boston College remains current:
