Tips about email, stored files, and removing university-licensed software
With all the excitement of upcoming exams and the thrill of graduation, it’s easy for students to forget about their ECU email, stored files and software. 
> ECU student email automatically transitions to the alumni system
Your ECU email address automatically changes to xxxx@ecualumni.ecu.edu and all items in your student account migrate to the alumni inbox. While you can no longer send messages from the old student account, any email sent to the xxxx@students.ecu.edu is forwarded to the new alumni account. The login for the alumni account is the last PirateID and passphrase used as an enrolled student. You will be notified before the transition and must manually update mobile email accounts.
Your OneDrive cloud storage and any documents stored there will also migrate. However, any Office 2016 downloads on your computer will cease to function after graduation. Online Office apps will still be available through OneDrive for editing your stored files.
> Files stored on ECU systems need to be moved
Documents saved in Piratedrive, iWebfolio, MyWeb or a blog will be lost unless moved to personal storage. The same goes for research survey data saved in Qualtrics. You may have personal storage available, and OneDrive cloud is also available through the alumni account.
> ECU-licensed software needs to be removed from your computer
You are required to remove all university-licensed software installed while enrolled at ECU. This helps us comply with software licensing agreements. We appreciate your cooperation in this.
