Reconnect with alumni

Submit this form if you are looking to reconnect with a former student of the University of Edinburgh.

If we are still in touch with the former student, we will endeavour to forward your message and any contact details you provide. The individual can then choose whether or not to contact you directly. Due to Data Protection Laws, we cannot share another person’s details with you, and are unable to confirm or deny whether we are in contact with an individual or whether we have successfully forwarded your message.

Group Reunions If your request is in relation to a group reunion, please contact the alumni helpdesk.

Staff of the University of Edinburgh If you are a current staff member of the University of Edinburgh and the request is related to your role, please fill in the alumni data request form instead (University login required).

How to use this form Please submit one form for each person you wish to contact. Provide as much information as you can about the former student you wish to connect with as this will increase the chances of us identifying the right person.

Alternative format Due to the current government restrictions, we are still working remotely. If you need to complete the form in an alternative format, please call us on +44 (0)131 650 2240 and leave a message with your name and phone number and we will call you back.
