We disable/delete student accounts 18 months after graduation or last course taken.

Cheers.

Subject: [SECURITY] Disabling/Purging Student Accounts

We are currently reviewing our Student login account, such as desktops and other commonly used systems, retention 
policy.  We currently allow for several years and are considering something along the lines of one year after 
graduation/last class taken.  I am curious as to what others have as their retention policy, and if there are any 
delineations.
