Re: Student Accounts After Graduation

[Thomas Carter <tcarter () AUSTINCOLLEGE EDU>]

We currently use internal hosting for student email. Their account stays active for 1 year following their graduation 
in case email is used for job applications, grad school applications, etc. It also makes it easier to get transcripts 
and other information.  "Eternal" accounts may have been more useful back in the day, but now generally all students 
have their own personal gmail/yahoo/Hotmail/whatever accounts; many I've talked to don't care about their student 
account and only use the email because it is basically necessary for some school and professor communications.

Subject: [SECURITY] Student Accounts After Graduation

Good Morning Everyone -

I was looking for some insight into how other Colleges/Universities manage student accounts after graduation. Also, is 
the process the same for UG and Graduate?

I really appreciate everyone's feedback (positive or negative) in this area as we are attempting a major overhaul in 
this area.

Thanks!
