      End of Academic Year and your Computer Account:       Revised  2007-05-15
                   Account access after Graduation

			Michael A. Crowley

 This document is important if you are interested in:

   *  Continuing your account after graduation
   *  Knowing what will happen to your stored information

 General questions about your computer account may be emailed to:
	helpdesk@mtholyoke.edu
 
Graduated students
 
   As a courtesy, graduated alumnae retain their basic email account as long as
   that account is in good standing and without policy violations or other
   unacceptable use.  An account may be inactivated if it has been unused for a 
   semester or if the INBOX goes over quota for an extended time.

   We encourage you to email the address alumna-account with a current phone
   number and alternate (non-MHC) email address so that we can contact you if 
   there is a problem with your MHC computer account.

   Continuing accounts only apply to accounts on MHC.  Accounts 
   on other college computer systems are not likely to be retained after 
   graduation (see below).

   Your ISIS account is also retained as long as the basic email
   account is maintained.

Your account information

   You are responsible for obtaining all the information from your
   account before the account is terminated.  The information
   may be deleted from the system when an account is terminated.
   If your account is continuing, there is no change to your HOME
   directory or your personal web area (world).

   The "classwork" and "classweb" file spaces are only provided to
   current students.  The purpose, as the name implies, is for 
   academic materials.  Graduates are responsible for moving their
   information from that location to another medium.  For more
   information on this, enter the MHC or Webshell "see/help" command:   
		see accountspace
   In general, materials in "classwork" will be available in a read-only
   mode (you cannot delete or modify it) for a semester after graduation.
   After that it is removed.

Accounts on other College systems
     
      Accounts are NOT retained on systems other than MHC.
      Accounts on other systems, such as the Math/Stat/CompSci
      systems, Chemistry systems, GIS systems, are not retained
      after graduation.

      Do not count on any information on the Ella learning management
      system to be retained.

      If you have data and information on one of these systems that
      you wish to keep, those data must be transferred to your MHC
      account before June 30.  
      
      If these data involve research and collaboration with a faculty
      member, you may need to arrange with that person to transfer
      the data to that individual's account.

Reinstatement:

  If an account has been locked due to inactivity or filled INBOX,
  it is very easy to reinstate as long as you know your password.
  Simply write to account-manager at Mount Holyoke and request
  that you wish to begin using your email account again.  As long
  as you know your password, we can simply turn it back on.

  If you do not know your password, for security purposes, we will 
  need to have a dialog with you to make sure we are talking with
  the correct individual.

  Accounts that have been closed or locked due to security issues
  or acceptable use violations might not be eligible for reinstatement.

  If you write to "alumna-account", please include in your email:
    *  Your full name.
    *  Your MHC username if you are emailing from another account.
    *  Telephone number where you can be reached, and when.
