Congratulations on your upcoming graduation!
As you are going through your graduation to-do list, schedule time to preserve your email and other content from your DePauw IT accounts as well as update your contact information for any personal online accounts that you have associated with
your DePauw email address. In the following, you'll learn the timeline
for when your primary DePauw IT accounts will no longer be available to
you, resources you can use to preserve email and other data, and
information on services available to DePauw alumni.
DePauw IT Accounts will be retired on December 31, 2019. You must complete the migration of your account content no later than December 30th. (Note: If you are returning to DePauw in the Fall of 2019 as a student, please contact HelpDesk@depauw.edu to keep your accounts active.)
Network
Be sure to save any documents you wish to keep from your class folders no later than December 30th.
Box
Transfer any documents you wish to keep from your DePauw Box account to a personal Individual Box account
no later than December 30th.
Google Apps (email, calendar, drive, etc.)
Use Google Takeout to
export a copy of your DePauw Google Email and Drive accounts by the
middle of December so there is plenty of time for the archive to
complete. Depending on how much data you have to copy, archives may take
a few minutes, several hours, or days to complete. Watch the Download your Google Data [How to] video on YouTube to learn more.
Also, update the settings for your personal online accounts (e.g., checking account, credit card, cell phone password recovery, YouTube, etc.) with your personal email address so you can still access them after your DePauw email account is retired.
IT Recommendation Checklist and Resources
You can also find a helpful IT recommendation checklist that includes additional resources at Graduating Senior Accounts.
These tips guide you through setting up a personal email account,
updating online account information (e.g., checking account, credit
card, cell phone password recovery, YouTube, etc.)
so that you do not lose access to them after your DePauw IT Accounts
are retired, how you can let others know about your new contact
information now, and more.
