General Guidelines:

Who is eligible?

Domain Accounts are created for all tenure and non-tenure track instructors appointed to a department of the McCombs School of Business.

When are they created and when do they expire?

Faculty accounts are created automatically when when an appointment is approved by HR and updated in the mainframe. Accounts expire when the appointment ends.

At the request of the Department Chair, accounts can be created early for incoming faculty who have not yet been appointed or extended for departing faculty members.

What happens when I leave?

Emeritus Faculty: Emeritus faculty will retain full network access and email services from McCombs Computer Services for as long as they wish.   

Departing (Retiring or Resigning) Tenure/Tenure-Track Faculty: As many departing faculty members are making the transition to another academic institution, McCombs email services will be provided for 6 months after the date of separation. Access to all other network resources will end on the date of separation. This period may be extended or shortened at the request of the Department Chair to the Senior Associate Dean.

Departing (Retiring or Resigning) Non-Tenure Track Faculty:  To facilitate the transition to a new email account, McCombs email services will be provided for 30 days after the date of separation. Access to all other network resources will end on the date of separation. This period may be extended or shortened at the request of the Department Chair to the Senior Associate Dean. Continued email access after 30 days or email forwarding will only be provided at the request of the Department Chair to the Senior Associate Dean.

Mailboxes, personal websites and individual network shares are deleted within 2 months of your account being disabled.
