What Happens When I Leave the University?
In accordance with section 4.1 of the Information Resources Use and Security Policy, when your affiliation of Current or Future Faculty/Staff changes to Former Faculty/Staff, you will no longer have access your One Drive data as your eligibility will have changed; however, you will be given a period of time (about 30 days) to request access to the mailbox, retrieve its contents, and forward any relevant information to your personal account. After that 30 day period, your mailbox and its contents will be permanently deleted.
When a user is no longer eligible for a mailbox a message is sent to the user’s Exchange account and official email address in TED.
UT System currently requires unaffiliated accounts be purged every quarter per UTS165 Standards.
