Account Closure Policy

Once your affiliation with the School of Natural Sciences ends you will be given a grace period of three months before your account is closed down.

An account may not be kept any longer than three months except with faculty approval. Please be sure to obtain this approval before you leave the Institute.

One month before your account is closed down you will be contacted via email at your IAS email address reminding you to transfer files as these will not be kept once your account is closed. We will not provide hard copies of your files on media.

During the three month grace period you may wish to set up an automatic email reponse (away message).  This can be done by following these instructions:

http://www.sns.ias.edu/computing/away_message

Please note that the away message will not continue after your account is closed.

Email forwarding may be provided after your account is closed. This is done via an entry on our mailserver and is not part of your account. Please contact SNS computing if you would like this set up.

Please heed these warnings because your account will be closed down after three months.
