You can also stay updated by reading the alumni blog or follow any of our social media channels: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram.

Email for life

From 2015, graduating students automatically receive an ‘email for life’. Your student email account will remain active for 120 days after your course finishes. So long as you have logged into your account during that time, it will automatically convert into an alumni email account.

Please note that after your course finishes, if your account remains inactive for 120 days, it will be deactivated due to licensing restrictions. The account can be reactivated, but you will lose your email history and contacts.

Find out more about 'email for life' if you left Goldsmiths from 2015.

If you left Goldsmiths before 2015, you can still access ‘email for life’. This is not an automatic process. Please email alumni (@gold.ac.uk) as we will need to put in a request to create a new Goldsmiths email to Service Desk on your behalf.

Please note that your incoming email address will be different than your student email address while at Goldsmiths and your outgoing email address will include ‘alumni’ in the prefix: @alumni.gold.ac.uk. You will not have access to your email history or contacts.

If you experience any problems accessing your account, check our website for known problems. Otherwise, please contact the Service Desk by phone at +44 (0)20 7919 7555 oror email alumni (@gold.ac.uk) and we can forward your request to Service Desk. Please note that the Service Desk and Help Desk emails are unable to receive non-Goldsmiths email.

Please note: Once you have completed your course and become an alumni of Goldsmiths, you no longer have access to your student VLE account. It is also not possible to access the VLE unless you are a current student or member of staff.

For any further queries about access to materials from your time as a student, please contact your department. For general queries about how the VLE works, please email talic (@gold.ac.uk).

Goldsmiths reunites with alumni in London, the UK and across the globe to celebrate our vibrant alumni community based all over the world. It includes Around the World in 7 Days, a series organised by local alumni volunteers in their cities across.

Alumni are welcome to attend events on campus. Join fellow alumni at events on campus and near you.
