This will be used to help you reset your password, or if there are any issues with our Alumni Email Account.

Users in the Alumni Email Service are required to establish two-factor authentication (2FA) for their account, using Google’s native 2FA service (not Duo).

With 2FA (which Google calls 2-Step Verification), you add an extra layer of security to your account in case your password is stolen. After you set up 2FA, you’ll sign in to your Alumni Email account in two steps using:

1. Something you know, like your password
2. Something you have, like your phone

The username part of your email address doesn't change when your account "graduates" from an SCU student account to an alumni account.

So, if your student email address was bbronco@scu.edu, then your alumni email address will be bbronco@alumni.scu.edu.

If you don't remember your SCU Username, please contact the Alumni Office at alumupdate@scu.edu.
