Geneseo Student Account Disabling Scheduled

Body

Dear <FIRSTNAME>,

An automated process has selected your account <EMAILADDRESS> to be disabled. Your account will be put in a limited access state on <DATE> and disabled on <DATE>. Limited access accounts maintain access to email, Google Drive, Canvas, and a few other services.

You are responsible for saving any email or files from your account. We will not recover individual files or email after your account has been disabled and we cannot restore your account.

Only currently registered students, students on an approved leave, and Geneseo Study Abroad students are eligible to maintain a Geneseo account. Your account will be restored if you register for another Geneseo course.

We do not have a record of you registering for classes or taking a leave of absence during this semester or next semester. If you are concerned this notice is phishing please note that we have not asked for your password nor do we link to anything requesting your password. For more information about phishing check out our phishing resources.

Please see our self help document Support for Outgoing Students. To receive commencement information after your Geneseo account is deactivated you must update your Home Email in Knightweb.

If we are in error in selecting your account for deletion, please reply to this message immediately.

Please update your contact information with the Office of Alumni Relations to receive important information about events near you and to stay in touch with your alma mater!

For questions on how to migrate your account information, contact the CIT HelpDesk by calling (585) 245-5588, or visiting our online service desk.

Geneseo Computing Account Eligibility Change for <DISPLAYNAME> <EMAILADDRESS>

Body

We have been informed that <DISPLAYNAME> no longer has an active employment commitment at the college, impacting their account eligibility. Common causes for this are:

  • This person is an adjunct, and their current active commitment end date has arrived.

  • This person is a 10-month employee, and their 2-month break has arrived.

  • This person has separated from the college.

Our Account Eligibility page describes what happens when a Geneseo employee account loses its eligibility:

  1. The account <EMAILADDRESS> is scheduled to transition to a courtesy account in 2 weeks on <DATE>. Courtesy accounts maintain access to Google services (Gmail, Drive, Docs), Canvas, and a few other services. Please refer to a more complete list of services.

    1. When <EMAILADDRESS> transitions to a courtesy account, they will be removed from the following Active Directory groups:
      <LISTOFGROUPS>

  2. The account <EMAILADDRESS> is scheduled to be disabled on <DATE>.

Adjuncts and some other account types who frequently return but rarely have a 12-month commitment may keep their courtesy account for one year after their last work date, reflected in the "scheduled to be disabled" date above. When a courtesy or disabled account begins a new active employment commitment, it is automatically transitioned back to a full account, usually within 24 hours.

If this is an error, please respond to this as soon as possible. Department heads and account managers can request a delay in these scheduled changes by responding with a justification for the extension and when they expect the person to have an active commitment again.

If this person has separated from the college, please see Considerations for Employee Separation. Please also review the following, which may need your attention:

  • Please let us know who should take over ownership of these Active Directory groups that <EMAILADDRESS> owns:
    <LISTOFGROUPS>

  • Please let us know who should take over management of these Active Directory accounts that <EMAILADDRESS> manages:
    <LISTOFACCOUNTS>

Please note that retirees who do not access their account for 12 consecutive months will have their account removed.

Retirees and emeriti must return their computer, and any related accessories, as part of the college’s separation procedure. State property control policy does not permit the college to sell equipment. We provide some guidance on buying yourself a personal computer in our retiree resources.

You must update your email signature line to reflect your retired status. Failure to do so may result in loss of email privileges.

If you do not want to maintain your email account respond to this email letting us know the date we should disable your account. Retirees that keep their accounts must make arrangements with offices they work with to ensure business related documents are transferred and that communications are able to reach the offices.

Many retirees return to work at Geneseo in some capacity, if that is the case for you your account will automatically be moved back to a full account when you're hiring paperwork is processed by Human Resources. When you finish that assignment your account will automatically return to retiree status.

Here is the list of Groups and Accounts this account owns, please let us know who should take over ownership of these:
