Account after leaving Uni-Bremen
Can I use my university e-mail account after finishing my studies/employment or as a retiree?
For students
- After your exmatriculation, your university account will continue to be active for another 18 months with limited permissions (e.g no VPN).
- Your information will not be deleted immediately.
- Prior to your account being locked and eventually deleted, you will receive three warning e-mails informing you of that fact and when it is going to happen.
- A locked account still retains all of your information and can be unlocked again. To unlock it, we need a valid identity card and proof of your affiliation with the university (e.g. employee card, student card, guest, etc.).
- Once your account is deleted, the information cannot be restored.
You can become a member of the Alumni Network to continue using your university account.
For employees
- After the end of your employment, your university account expires.
- The online tools website lets you check the end date. (Go to ‘Ihr Uni-Account’ -> ’ Ihre Daten im Identity Management ansehen’).

For retirees
- Retired persons (pensioners) of the University of Bremen can continue to use the university account if they register as "Ehemalige" with the
’Ehemaligenverwaltung’ .
Role-based accounts can not be retained and must be transferred to a successor using the ZfN-Onlinetools or they will expire.
