Edgewood College Account Continuation Policy The policy defines the email and account termination procedures for different categories of users, such as students, faculty, staff, alumni, and retirees, who use the campus computing infrastructure. Student Accounts: Please know that shortly after you complete your degree your account status and licensing will change. Students who graduate with a degree will retain their email account, but lose access to other apps such as OneDrive, Microsoft Office Desktop Applications, ect… If a student leaves the college prior to completing their degree, all access will be removed after two sessions from last being active. Permissions and account access assigned to students employed as work studies, limited term staff employees, or graduate assistants, will return to that of student status when the individual’s employment ends. If an individual is both a student and employee, the account termination policies for employees take precedence over the student related policies. Alumni Accounts: Alumni will have no access to the Edgewood College network. Alumni accounts that have been inactive for a period of six months will be disabled. Disabled accounts will be retained for thirty days, and then deleted. Alumni can request reinstatement of the account at a later date, but once deleted, the old emails, calendar items and address information will no longer be available. Students who graduate with a degree will retain their email account, but lose access to other apps such as OneDrive, Microsoft Office Desktop Applications, etc.... If an individual is both an alumnus and former employee, the email termination policies for former employees take precedence over the alumni related policies. The former employee would not be permitted to retain their former email address and mailbox. Employee Accounts: When faculty or staff members resign from working for the College, email account and network access are removed for network drives and system access. It is the immediate supervisor's responsibility to notify the Office of Human Resources about the departure, instruct the exiting employee to dispose of account contents appropriately, and follow record retention guidelines as defined by Edgewood College records management. It is the responsibility of the departing employee to delete or transfer all files and email messages that are of a personal nature. Only personal items should be transferred to a CD or flash storage drive. All business-related items will be captured during the preservation process and should be left in place in the employee’s mailbox, computer, and network file locations. The supervisor or other designee set by the Office of Human Resources can request access to your account upon departure. Your account will be terminated within 24 hours of departure. If you leave employment and you are also either a student, alumni, retired, Emeritus/Emerita or VSIP, a new account will be created. It will be your responsibility to update your email with anyone or anything that contains your old address. No emails will be transferred to this new account. If you are an active student, any data in Blackboard will transfer to the new account shortly after departure. When the college initiates faculty or staff termination from employment, accounts are disabled immediately following the termination, as directed by Human Resources and/or the employee’s supervisor. If an individual is both a Student/Alumni and former employee, the account termination policies for employees take precedence over the student related policies.
