LionMail
Columbia graduates of non-medical programs will be able to continue using their LionMail email account automatically. It will not expire.
If you are a graduate of a medical program, you can utilize the options below.

Read more about the CAA's e-mail services in their Alumni Email FAQs.
Email Forwarding
Columbia offers email forwarding, which allows you to maintain an email address of [email protected]. For alumni that don't have a LionMail account you can forward your [email protected] to CAA email address.
However, if you would like to forward your Columbia address to an external email system (like your personal email), you must set this forwarding up in your LionMail 'Gmail' Settings rather than via the Manage My UNI email forwarding. Forwarding to external email systems (Gmail, Yahoo) was disallowed beginning October 22nd, 2019. This change is due to the increasing unreliability of forwarding, which you can read about on our Email Forwarding page. For reliable delivery of important correspondence, please provide senders with the address where you actually read your email.
