[This message is being sent to student owners of ccu accounts @cc.umanitoba.ca. There is no need to reply. If you have already renewed your account, kindly disregard this message. If you are not registered or not renewing your account this fall please read Section 2 below.]

1. RETURNING STUDENTS:

If you are registered at the University of Manitoba for the current session (03R), and have not already renewed your ccu email-internet-unix account this fall using 'claimid':

--------------------------------------------------------- Please go through 'claimid' BY 2 P.M. THIS FRIDAY (Oct 4) to avoid having your cc.umanitoba.ca account expire. ---------------------------------------------------------

If you are in Faculty of Management courses, you need to go through claimid a separate time, selecting the 'ins' system for account renewal.

Unrenewed accounts will be expired this weekend starting late Friday afternoon, October 4.

Claimid will not be available all weekend - possibly not until Monday afternoon, October 7.

Renewed accounts remain active until next fall: Friday, October 3, 2003.

If you are registered in 03R but claimid still does not recognize you, please contact the Computer Accounts Office or Help Desk (contact information below).

For more information about your accounts and how to renew, see http://umanitoba.ca/acn/accounts/student.html

2. IF YOU ARE NOT REGISTERED THIS FALL OR CHOOSE NOT TO RENEW YOUR ACCOUNT:

Please use the CC Mail Management page to set a forwarding address and/or an auto-reply ('vacation message') to inform senders of your new situation. Go to: http://mail.cc.umanitoba.ca

For details on what to do and what happens to your account after it expires, please see: http://umanitoba.ca/acn/accounts/student.html#norenew

If you are graduating, you may wish to sign up for a mail-forwarding "address for life" through the University Alumni Association: http://umanitoba.ca/alumni/online_community
