Retired Faculty and Staff get to keep their email accounts for life. Their email address does not change. They do stop 
appearing in the campus online directory. They are taken off official college mailing lists for Faculty and Staff.

Subject: [SECURITY] Retiree Email Accounts 

Retiree Email Accounts Hello All, 

I have been tasked with investigating how other institutions are handling retiree email accounts. We have had multiple 
requests for these types of accounts recently and we still aren’t sure how we want to handle them. I was hoping that 
other folks on this list might have addressed this issue already and I might be able gain a bit of insight into the 
issue that could be applied at our institution. 

A few of the major issues that I see right off the bat: 



    1. Do we allow them to use the same email account and archive/purge all of their email that existed from when they 
were employed at the College? 
    2. Do we create a new account with a new email address that designates the account as a retiree account? 
    3. How long should they have access to the retiree email (1 year, 2 years, forever...)? 
    4. Can they extend the use of the email account for a longer period of time? 

Any input would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks,
