Termination of my student accounts after graduation

Issue/Question

• When I graduate, how long will my account remain active?
• When I leave the University, how long will my account stay active?

Environment

• Identity and Access Management

Resolution

• All alumni/alumnae receive Lifetime email account access — log in directly through mail.MiamiOH.edu
  • All student accounts offer Lifetime email access and will not be deactivated
• After your graduation from Miami, your accounts will be maintained for at least a month before the termination process begins
  • Access to all Miami University services and sites, including Miami VPN, BannerWeb, and myMiami, should automatically expire 45 days after graduation

1. Email notification of account termination
   • You will receive an email notification at your Miami email address (<UniqueID>@MiamiOH.edu) 30 days before your accounts enter the termination process
   • If you have not already done so, copy all files you want to save to another system
2. Accounts are suspended
   • Your accounts will be suspended for 30 days before being permanently deleted; once your accounts are suspended, only a system administrator can recover files stored in your accounts
3. Accounts are deleted
