UBC Email
 

I actually use my ubc email (@interchange.ubc.ca)alot for more professional contacts (work). When will I no longer be able to access the account? and what happens to it?...Does it deactivate right away after I graduate, or does it deactivate if I want to take a year off school? just curious

I could be wrong but I think you get to keep it as an alumni

it will be deactivated as soon as your student status is removed (graduated). you can pay for alumni access (continue your account).

This is one of the oddest things I find about UBC. As far as I know, most schools give you a free alumni email address when you're finished.

interchange email sucks as it always messes up your formatting upon sending. not very professional, just like most of UBC.

interchange blows, every other uni has a very easy to type @sfu.ca or @mit.edu, but we get stuck with @interchange.ubc.ca. for this reason i chose not to pay for the account after grad.

also, the principle of paying for an email address after 40k of tuition is just insulting.

thanks guys, yes ubc is cheap as sh1t!, i will not be paying to have it after i grad

lol... UBC: U Bring us Cash

QFT for all posts in this thread:D
interchange is a joke.

120mb = inbox sitting at full capacity every few weeks, that and your trash bin doesnt automatically delete its contents

Aren't UBC interchange emails pretty decent with your names though?

For SFU, it is like "zkl8@sfu.ca" or something weird. Albiet with SFU, you get two email accounts. One your username and the other your full name but with an underscore and a number if there are more than one person with the same name as you.
