Things to do prior to the account change and deactivation:
Before your account becomes an alumni account and prior to deactivation, save a copy of any data that is stored in a system listed above. After your account changes, there are no exceptions for allowing access at a later date. These steps include:
Prior to your account becoming an Alumni Account:
- Remove everything you have stored in Netspace and Unixspace (Linux accounts).
- Save a copy of your unofficial transcript from Banner Web.
- LinkedIn Learning - Finish all courses and publish your completion certificates to your LinkedIn profile.
- Qualtrics - Submit a ticket to indicate who should be the new owner of your surveys. This is very important if you've done research for a professor who will still need access to your surveys after you've graduated
Prior to your account being deactivated:
Student Separating or Transferring Out
Students who separate/transfer from Bucknell without graduating lose access to Bmail immediately. In this situation, students should make arrangements to retrieve any items they have stored in Drive and forward any necessary emails from their Bucknell account before they leave the university.
