Retirement Association: Email Forwarding Service

Learn how to get free email forwarding service through the UC San Diego Retirement Association.

About email forwarding

If you are a UC San Diego Retirement Association member in good standing, you are eligible for free email forwarding service.

For Health Sciences retirees who join the UCSD Retirement Association, the association will assist in obtaining the issuance of a new @ucsd.edu email address (often just with the insertion of a middle initial), which is then eligible for email forwarding. This is required per UC San Diego Health Policy No. MCP 18.1.  

Email forwarding allows you to use your personal email account to receive messages from your ucsd.edu email address.

Set up your UCSD email forwarding account

1. Become a member of the UCSD Retirement Association.
2. You will receive a Retirement Association member packet that includes:
   • A form to obtain a UCSD affiliate Campus Card
   • The email forwarding setup form (PDF)
3. Get your affiliate Campus Card at the Student Financial Solutions office. There is a $25 fee.
4. Complete the email forwarding setup form and return it to: UCSD Retirement Association/ 9500 Gilman Drive, Dept. 0020/ La Jolla, CA 92093-0020.
