Frequently Asked Questions

  What happens when my student network account and email expires?

When your account expires, you will no longer be able to access your WaveNet account, Pepperdine student email address, and several other Pepperdine resources, such as Courses and select library databases. Shortly after your student network account expires, your account will be deleted, including your student email or Google Drive documents. Be sure to refer to the Graduation Technology Checklist for recommended steps to take before you lose your access.

  What actions should I take before my student network account expires?

Please review the Graduation Technology Checklist for recommended steps to take before you lose your access. Example steps include transferring or downloading your email and Google documents, printing any unofficial transcripts, updating your contacts about your email address change, and many other important considerations.

  Can graduating students sign up for a Pepperdine Alumni email account?

Yes! An optional Alumni Email account is available. The service is powered by Gmail and will provide students with an @alumnimail.pepperdine.edu email address. Learn more about the Alumni Email service and how to sign up.

  I am graduating but I am also an employee. Will I lose access?

No. As long as you remain employed with Pepperdine, you will retain access to your @pepperdine.edu account. However, we strongly recommend that you review any content in your Pepperdine Google Drive and identify any student or personal information. Be sure to download and store personal content on your own third-party cloud storage solution.  As you know, the University provides your Pepperdine NetworkID account and other services or equipment for University business only.
