Alumnil platform
What is the Alumnil platform?
The platform is the term used to refer to the Alumnil network managing and communication IT system. It is a private and secure “members-only space” that requires login credentials.
This platform contains all the information on our network activities, including events, job offers, the alumni directory, and an internal messaging system.
New to the network? Follow the guide!
Have you received your login credentials to the platform? You will find articles, events, photo galleries, our members’ directory, and a section with job offers. You can also optimise your personal profile.
Log in to take full advantage of the network’s offers.
What is the Alumnil alias?
As a member of the Alumnil network, you are automatically given an email-forwarding address (alias) in the following format: firstname.lastname@alumnil.unil.ch.
This address is hosted on the Alumnil platform and forwards messages to your personal or professional email address as specified in your profile. It is assigned to you for life and identifies you as a member of the Alumnil network.
This alias allows people who do not know your private or professional email to get in touch with you. To learn everything about its features, you can read the illustrated article in French “L’alias – ce masque fort pratique” (“The alias – this very handy mask”).
IMPORTANT: Your @unil.ch address becomes invalid 6 months after your deregistration. It is therefore important that you update your profile with a private email address.
I forgot my login credentials for the Alumnil platform.

- Click on “Forgot login?” below the login box. The system will send you an email with a link to reset your password.
