IMPORTANT: Even if your new status as a retiree allows you to retain access to your email account, you may temporarily lose that access between your last employment date and the subsequent retirement date. This is a normal part of the status change process. Please be patient; your access will be restored based on your retirement date and approval.
No. Employees who are separated from the University for any reason will have their email access revoked. The University reserves the right to revoke email access privileges at any time for any reason.
You will need to log into your Lamar email account via a browser, at least, every 90 days in order to keep your account active. Accessing email via Outlook or an app alone on your phone does not register as a login.
Lamar recommends you access your retiree email via Outlook Online; however, if you have purchased Outlook for desktop, you can add your Lamar retiree account to your Outlook desktop.
No, retiree accounts are not licensed for Microsoft desktop applications; however, you can access Microsoft apps online. View our instructions on how to access Microsoft online apps.
Individuals eligible for a retiree email account are defined as all of those persons who have retired from faculty and staff positions at 17³Ô¹Ï in accordance with the Teacher Retirement System (TRS).
Retirees will receive a Microsoft 365 account that provides access only to web-based email, Calendar. Please be aware that if you are using Teams, you will lose access to this service.
Unfortunately, no. Retirees, who are former employees, may have sensitive or regulated information from their past employment. Exporting this data to a .PST file bypasses security controls designed to protect such information, potentially violating security and privacy regulations.
After registration, a retiree retains their email as long as they log into their 17³Ô¹Ï email at least once every 90 days. If you do not log into your 17³Ô¹Ï email at least once every 90 days, the account will become deactivated. You can contact the Lamar IT Service Desk to re-enable your account, if necessary, but your email messages may not be able to be restored.
Change your password via the Lamar "Password Reset site" immediately and contact the "Lamar IT ServiceDesk" to report the issue. Be sure to check for any mail rules or forwarding rules that may have been set on your account by the threat actor and remove them.
Access to Blackboard and the Lamar Library system requires one to be a student, staff, or faculty. You may not be able to access these services upon retirement.
If your account was previously deactivated, it can take up to 3-5 business days to reactivate your mailbox after approval has been made on your request. If the approval process has been submitted prior to your last employment date, there should be no delay in accessing your account.
It is common for third parties to have your email address on file as a point of contact for a department within Lamar. Also, others on campus may not be aware of your retirement. In these cases, please reach out to the appropriate department to have your email removed from their contact list.
