Alumni Association membership dues are tax deductible for individuals who itemize deductions. Please consult your tax advisor for details. Our standard process is to mail you a receipt if your membership dues payment is $250 or more. If your dues payment is under $250, your credit card statement or cancelled check will serve as a receipt for your tax returns.

Can I continue my umich.edu e-mail accountr?

You can use e-mail forwarding, which gives you a “umich.edu” address but forwards mail to another e-mail account, like Yahoo or a work e-mail address. E-mail forwarding is not an e-mail account but a forwarding service only.

To use the e-mail forwarding feature, you must have access to the Internet, maintain an e-mail account (e.g. through a commercial provider, your employer, etc.) and have a U-M uniqname and password. All U-M alumni can take advantage of free e-mail forwarding.

Email forwarding requires a U-M Uniqname. See our U-M Login Help page if you don’t have a uniqname or have forgotten your password.

After you have your uniqname, sign up for email forwarding at the ITCS Web site.

For any questions, please contact the Information Technology Division at itd.accounts@umich.edu or 734.764.8000.
