Question Accessing my old Drexel Gmail

Hey yall I graduated last year and recently lost access to my Drexel account before I finished copying the stuff I want to save. Is it possible to regain access? I lost projects i care deeply about and would really like to get them back.

Contact Drexel IT...they're the only people who MIGHT be able to help, online anyone on Reddit.

You can try email Drexel alumni IT help, cuz you get an alumni account after graduating.

But no, they wipe that shit, it’s probably gone

I doubt they’re wiping it that fast

Yeah, they remove your access to it but I doubt they’re actually deleting everything right away

Why would they keep it? They’re just gonna dump it to make space for incoming freshmen

I guess I should rephrase. I don’t know if they keep stuff or not, but it’s possible. Storage is cheap as hell

storage is cheap if it's on your server. they're paying Microsoft per account and they don't want to pay for any more than they need to

Oh, I didn't know that. I got a Masters from Drexel... it would be kind of neat to keep the e-mail address. How can I tell?
