Change to IT account access when staff leave the University
As part of this update, IT accounts for staff leaving the University will now be automatically disabled at the end of their last official day of work.
This is a change from the current process, where access continues for up to 30 days after leaving the University.
It is the responsibility of departing staff to ensure that all relevant files and emails have been saved or backed up prior to the disabling of their accounts. Any business-critical files stored in OneDrive must be moved to an appropriate shared location (such as Teams or SharePoint site).
Once the account is disabled, access to University systems, email, OneDrive, and files will no longer be available.
New staff IT accounts
From June, new IT accounts will be assigned a random username (as happens with student accounts currently) rather than being based on personal details.
Further information about staff accounts and the possibility of extending them can be found on the IT Services website.
