2. Go to Settings at the top of the page.

Past student

To update your forwarding preferences for when you’ve completed your studies or you are no longer an active UQ student, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your account through the my.UQ dashboard.
2. Go to ‘My profile’. 
3. Check and update your personal contact details to ensure they are current. 
4. Scroll to the ‘Email forwarding’ section and click ‘Change forwarding’. 
5. Choose either;
   • ‘Personal email address’ to forward to a personal email address. 
   • ‘UQ alumni mailbox’ if you have one and want to forward to your UQ alumni mailbox.
   • 'Do not forward'. In the future, if you need to update your details or request a transcript, you need to turn on forwarding temporarily to confirm your identity.
6. Click ‘Update email forwarding’ to save your changes.
