UITS policy on computing account termination

The following outline for UITS computing account termination policy is based on the University Information Policy Office (UIPO) publication Eligibility to Use Information Technology Resources:

  • Discontinuing or graduating students: See What happens to your student computing accounts when you leave IU, graduate, transfer to another campus, or study abroad?

  • Employee resignation: When faculty or staff members resign, their accounts are automatically disabled following their resignations, and ultimately deleted. The chair or immediate supervisor is responsible for instructing employees to dispose of account contents appropriately.

    Note: Retired faculty and staff receive account privileges indefinitely.

  • Terminated employees: When the university terminates faculty or staff employment, accounts are automatically disabled following the termination, and ultimately deleted. The chair or immediate supervisor is responsible for instructing employees to dispose of account contents appropriately.

  • Computer abuse sanction: After due process, if the relevant university office (e.g., Dean of Students, Dean of Faculties, Human Resources) determines that computer account abuse necessitates loss of computing account privileges, accounts are disabled.

    Note: If you are a student whose accounts have been disabled because you stopped taking classes, you may be able to re-enable them; see As an IU student, can I have my disabled accounts re-enabled?
