Account Information for Students:

Use of McCombs information technology resources is governed by the rules and polices of the University of Texas at Austin. You can find a useful summary of these rules, and your responsibilities as a consumer of IT resources, at http://www.utexas.edu/its/policies/responsible.html. For more comprehensive information about the University policies governing the use of information technology see the following website: http://www.utexas.edu/its/policies/.

Violations of the McCombs or University Acceptable Use Policy may result in the suspension of access to resources and/or disciplinary action by the College, Office of the Dean of Students, or the Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost.

General Guidelines:

Who is eligible?

All Business School majors enrolled in a BBA, PPA, MPA, MBA, or PhD program. Accounts may be created for non-business majors enrolled in a course with a curriculum that requires access to McCombs IT resources at the request of the instructor.

When are they created and when do they expire?

Accounts are created for students first enrolling in a degree program immediately after their acceptance is finalized. Access to these accounts is usually provided at orientation. Accounts for Internal Transfer students are created after the administrative start of the semester (Typically a few days before the 1st day of classes). Access to your account and email ends at the administrative end of the semester of your graduation from McCombs (typically one week after graduation ceremonies) or when you otherwise withdraw from McCombs.

What happens when I leave?

Graduating students will be notified prior to the end of the semester and given instructions on archiving email and other network files. After graduation your account will be disabled and your email, website, and H: drive will all be deleted. Graduating students who return will have a new account created.
