UITS News for Wednesday, April 17, 2024
Student computing accounts, data, and software when you leave IU
As an IU student, your access to IU computing resources remains active as long as you are enrolled at any IU campus. After you have not enrolled in any courses through the IU registrar for two consecutive terms (fall, spring, and summer are each considered one term), your IU computing accounts will become inactive. It is imperative you transfer any necessary data before then.
