No, but in order to keep your account active, Alumni will need to log in to their Google account in a web browser using their CalNet credentials every 6 months to meet the activity requirement. Using the Gmail app and third party email clients also count as activity, but that activity can only be tracked for 30 days. Other types of activity like forwarding email to another account or using auto-reply messages do not register as activity.
- Alumni will be notified at both their @berkeley.edu email and their listed recovery email after 4 months & 5 months of inactivity.
- If this requirement is not met, the email account will be deemed inactive and permanently disabled.
- The earliest date any account may be disabled is October 15, 2025.
