University of Winchester 'unimail' accounts closing from 25 February 2022
Please note that if you have been using a University of Winchester email for life 'unimail' account (applies to alumni who began their studies from 2010 onwards), it will be closed with effect from 25 February 2022. The vast majority of email for life accounts are not in use, this poses a significant cyber threat to the University, for this reason the decision has been made to close all of these accounts.
NB: EXISTING STUDENT ACCOUNTS (for example, those belonging to current Postgraduate Students) will NOT be affected.
