Alumni Email Accounts

Because of licensing constraints and the non-competition law, the Tech Computer Center (TCC) can no longer provide email usernames to Alumni. Therefore, when you graduate and leave NMT, your TCC email username will be closed 30 days after graduation. Your email will be forwarded for twelve months after graduation from user@nmt.edu to user@alumni.nmt.edu or whatever forward address you have specified (where user is your current email username).

It is your responsibility to contact the Alumni Office at:

Lavern Robinson
lrobinson@admin.nmt.edu
Administrative Coordinator
Office for Advancement
New Mexico Tech
Fidel Center, Room 236
Socorro, NM 87801 USA
Phone: 575-835-5616 * Fax:575-835-5825
