Expiration of network accounts

Students:

• To help you transition from life as a Saint Mary's student to that of a college graduate, there is a helpful "Computing After ResNet" guide available on the ResNet website and at http://www.saintmarys.edu/resnet/computingafterresnet.html. This guide addresses popular questions regarding e-mail accounts, network drives, Microsoft Campus Agreement software, virus protection software, and how to get technical support after you have left campus.
• Class of 2013 and later: Information Technology has been examining ways to allow alumnae to retain an e-mail account associated with Saint Mary’s College. Google recently announced changes that may make this no longer feasible. We are not planning to delete your Saint Mary’s student e-mail account until more information is available and a decision is finalized. We will notify affected alumnae when details about retaining accounts have been determined.
• Class of 2012 and earlier: Prior to the migration to Google for e-mail, Saint Mary's College allowed alumnae to access their e-mail accounts for six months after they complete their degree requirements and graduate. Accounts typically expired on December 1 following May graduation. Access to those accounts is no longer available.

Staff/Administrators:

• Saint Mary's College terminates the accounts of staff and administrators immediately upon their leaving the College. This includes dismissal, resignation, and retirement.
• Information Technology will allow access to that account (e-mail, network drives, etc.) to another individual in the department for a period of up to 90 days upon a written request from the head of that department to the Helpdesk (helpdesk@saintmarys.edu).
• Information Technology will forward the e-mail sent to that account to another individual in the department for a period of up to one year upon a written request from the head of the department to the Helpdesk (helpdesk@saintmarys.edu).

Faculty:

• Saint Mary's College terminates the accounts of faculty immediately upon their leaving the College due to resignation or dismissal.
• Saint Mary's College allows faculty who retire from the College to retain their network account (e-mail, network drives, etc.).
• Retired faculty accounts that are inactive and/or not migrated to new systems when requested by Information Technology can not be restored after the deadlines for such projects have passed.
