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