How to maintain your account To ensure you don't lose access to your MyID and UGAMail, you must log in at least once a year. UGA's Enterprise Information Technology Services (EITS) conducts an annual review of all retiree accounts. If your account has not been accessed for a year or more, it will be marked as inactive. You will receive several notices and reminders before deactivation, giving you a chance to log in and keep your account active. Next steps for retirees Log in annually: Make sure you log in to your UGAMail account at least once a year to prevent it from being deactivated. If you have specific access questions about specialized software or departmental licenses, you can contact your former departmental IT professional. Contact EITS: If you have questions about your account status or access to general software, you can contact EITS for more information.
