Beyond the Pond Alumni Association is the official alumni association of Constructor University. Anyone who has studied at the university for at least one semester is eligible to become a member. The Association promotes the education of current and future students via the Alumni Scholarship Fund. The fund grants annual scholarships and is supported by the donations of alumni and friends of the university.

Benefits of being a member of the Alumni Association include the following:

  • Tuition Fee Discounts, continue your education and enjoy 50% off all master's
    programs if you are a Constructor University bachelor's graduate.
  • Discount on events such as our annual Homecoming.
  • Career Services – exclusive access to JobTeaser, the university’s online job portal.
  • Up-to-date news on what is happening within the university and alumni communities.
  • Constructor Connect: your space to connect with fellow alumni, discover opportunities, and build meaningful relationships across the network.
Alumni Email Accounts

Starting in 2025, the university started to support alumni email accounts, ending in @alumni.constructor.university, and managed by the university. 

Existing @jacobs-alumni.de accounts from the Alumni Association will remain active and unchanged. An alumni email address (in any form) is required to access services like the Alumni Office, Career Services Center, JobTeaser, and the Constructor ecosystem.

After graduation, current students will have their student email account switched over to an alumni one. Students will lose access to Microsoft programs such as SharePoint and OneDrive — it is highly advised to backup your files to a local drive or to another cloud-based storage.

How to get your new Alumni email: 

  1. Fill out the Alumni Consent Form
    - This confirms your alumni status and gives permission to create your account.
    - If you’ve already submitted it, you don’t need to do it again.

    Send this email from the same address you listed on the Consent Form.
  3. Verify your identity
    - IT Support will send setup instructions and schedule a short video call.
    - Bring a valid ID for the call.
  4. Access your new account
    - You’ll receive a link and temporary password by email.
    - Log in, change your password, and you’re all set!

Steps 2 through 4 are only required if you graduated before 2025 or do not remember your log-in ID and/or password.

Frequently Asked Questions

The CAN represents all the alumni throughout the Constructor ecosystem, regardless of where they studied or worked. The Alumni Association is specifically for alumni of Constructor University. The AA has an ownership stake in the university and a seat on the Board of Governors. Members of the AA are part of the CAN, but CAN members are not necessarily members of the AA.

Currently, Constructor Pass is only available to alumni with an alumni email address through the Alumni Association (@jacobs-alumni.de email addresses) or Constructor Alumni (@alumni.constructor.university email addresses).

Not sure if you are eligible? Contact the Alumni Office for more information.

Currently, it is only available to the alumni as detailed in Question #2. Eventually, the Pass will be available to all alumni community members.

As the Alumni Association holds a minority share in the university, it exists as a separate individual entity apart from the university. This, along with adhering to data protection regulations, means that all members must opt-in to join the association.

Most of the fees go directly into the Alumni Scholarship Fund, which helps fund future students’ educational pursuits. As the AA is independent of the university, some of the fees go towards organizational purposes, such as maintaining the AA website.

The Registrar’s Office oversees these requests. Please contact them for all academic inquiries.

The university has a created a document detailing the name change, which is available to accompany your academic documents. You can access it here.

Please contact the Alumni Office, we will gladly assist you with this.
