Former employees do not retain access to their employee email account. After your status in the HR system officially reflects retiree status, you may request a retiree account. It may take a while for your HR data to officially reflect retiree status due to leave and benefit situations. The retiree email address format is First.Last@retiree.utrgv.edu. Note that a UTRGV retiree account is NOT required to set up official retiree benefits (a personal account may be used).
Retiree accounts have access to email. Retiree accounts do NOT have access to the other Office 365 apps such as OneDrive, Word, Excel, SharePoint, etc. Retiree accounts cannot be used to access campus WIFI.
Steps to obtain a retiree email address
- Contact the Service Desk at 665-2020 or 882-2020, option 5, to have your request submitted. You may also send an email to itservicedesk@utrgv.edu and provide the data requested in item 2.
