Warwick Alumni

As you near the end of your course, now is the perfect time to start exploring the benefits of becoming part of the Warwick alumni community – a diverse and powerful network of over 293,000 alumni worldwide which you will join upon graduation.

You can register for Warwickgrad - an online community exclusively for Warwick students and alumni. A place for you to make mentoring connections, join professional groups based on your interests or location and access a wide range of resources to support your career.

Although access to Warwick buildings will be revoked after your course end date, your account will transition to an alumni account after graduation. At that point, you can apply for an alumni card, giving you access to the Library, University House, and the Sports and Wellness Hub (if you have a sports membership).

To find out more about the alumni benefits available to you, visit warwick.ac.uk/alumni or contact the team at alumni@warwick.ac.uk.
