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 University IT 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 deleted following their resignation. It is the chair's or immediate supervisor's responsibility to instruct 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 deleted following the termination. It is the chair's or immediate supervisor's responsibility to instruct 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.
