Alumni member benefits

The latest news

Receive the latest news from Goldsmiths and fellow alumni throughout the year via the alumni magazine, Goldlink, and newsletter. We welcome submissions so get in touch if you have anything you would to share: alumni (@gold.ac.uk).

Keep in touch via social media

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

Alumni Email

After leaving Goldsmiths, you can access a free alumni email. Use it to keep in touch with friends or provide a professional email address for CVs and job applications.

Please note that converting your gold.ac.uk is not the same as joining the alumni mailing list. If you have signed up to the alumni mailing list, you will still need to apply to convert your email address.

At 120 days after your course ends, you will lose access to Shibboleth, learn.gold (VLE) and other Office 365 services, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint and One Drive, as these services are not available to alumni. Your course end date is the official date your programme ends and prior to your graduation ceremony.

If you experience any problems accessing your email, check our website for known problems. If you need to reset your password, and you left Goldsmiths after 01 January 2017, please use One Identity Password Manager. Otherwise, email alumni (@gold.ac.uk) and we will put in your request with the IT Service Desk.

Find out how to use your Goldsmiths email and accessing it across devices.

You’ve completed and your course end date is after 1 August 2020

As deadlines will vary depending on when you left, please check the deadline on this survey and apply accordingly. Find out more about your alumni email.

Your course end date is before  31 July 2020

The deadline to convert your gold.ac.uk email to an Alumni email has passed.

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.

Library membership

Access to the Library and collections is currently restricted to Goldsmiths students and staff due to Covid-19, and applications for alumni library membership is closed. This will be reviewed on an ongoing basis throughout the term.
