Extend Your UMail Account

Students leaving the University automatically have access to UMail for 6 months after their leave date. You can now use SPIRE to extend your UMail account for 6 additional months.
Please note:

  • This extension applies only to UMail and does not cover any other OIT services.
  • Your UMail account will be de-activated 6 months after you leave the University unless you request this extension in SPIRE.
  • Request your extension before you leave the University or within 6 months after your leave date.

  1. Log on to SPIRE.
  2. In the left Menu, go to OIT Accounts > Extend OIT Services. The Extend UMail Service page opens.
  3. On the Extend UMail Service page, click Extend UMail After I Leave UMass. This will enable you to use UMail for a full year after you leave the University. (A message, 'Saved', will appear in blue at the bottom of the page, confirming your extension.)
