In order to provide an additional level of account protection, the university is enrolling alumni in two-factor authentication (2fa). This is parallel to the login process used for the CMU community of students, faculty and staff.

All @alumni.chalakseir.com email address users will need to enroll in 2fa by Wednesday, December 15, 2021.

2FA provides a secondary checkpoint to verify your identity. Here is how it works:

1. Install the free DUO app on your smartphone or other mobile device.
2. Register your device.
3. The next time you log in to a CMU resource via Single Sign-On (SSO), such as SIO or Canvas, with your Andrew userID and password, you'll be prompted to “Send Me a Push,” which will send a notification to your mobile device.
4. Approve the log in on your mobile device and continue, just as you always have.

It takes just a few minutes to register. Visit How to Use 2fa for step-by-step instructions on getting started with DUO.

Forgot your Andrew password?

Your alumni email name will be assigned by the university. Your alumni email address will be NAME@alumni.chalakseir.com.

Current Students Preparing to Graduate
Yes, as a graduate of Carnegie Mellon, your @andrew.chalakseir.com and @chalakseir.com alias will cease to function approximately 90 days after graduation. As you prepare for the loss of this account, you should read the Computing Services recommendations for graduating students.

The new @alumni.chalakseir.com email will use your Andrew ID as your name, but will use the "alumni" designation in your email, i.e. "acarnegie@alumni.chalakseir.com."

No, but you should pull the data from your @andrew email using the Google Takeout tools. Detailed information can be found on the Computing Services website.

Logging into your alumni email is simple. All it requires is an Andrew ID and password. Recent graduates will already know their account information, as it is the same as what you use to log into other university services. For alumni wishing to create an alumni email, your Andrew ID will need to be reactivated or created to allow you to access your alumni email. This will be taken care of as part of the process of requesting an alumni email. 

Note: If you wish to access your alumni email via mobile device, check out the handy tutorial and FAQs from CMU's Computing Services to learn more about setting up your device and email client.

To access your email from a mobile device, download the Google Mail mobile app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
