ACCESS
Online Community access allows UCR alumni to easily update their personal information online and to stay in contact with former classmates and colleagues. It is also where community members can choose what topics of emails they'd like to receive from the Alumni Association.
Sign up once, get your messages forever! Through the Online Community, UCR Alumni can have one e-mail address to give to your friends, co-workers, and family. Now, anytime your email changes, you can update it in the Online Community, and your friends, co-workers, and family will only have to remember your alumni.ucr.edu email address!
This email is a forwarding email only. This means that you can receive mail that is sent to this address, but that you can not read it from the on-line community. It is sent to your "real" email address, whether that be at AOL, or your place of employment, or another internet service provider. In order to take advantage of this alumni benefit, you must register with the Online Community. Click here to register now!
