When are old accounts deactivated? Athena accounts (and the MIT email address and other privileges that come with them) are deactivated every year in January. If your account is up for deactivation, you will get an email from a member of the IS&T Athena User Accounts staff sometime in November informing you about it. Whether or not your account is going to be up for deactivation depends on when you were last a registered student at MIT. For answers to frequently asked questions about deactivation, visit the following URL: http://web.mit.edu/deactivate/www/ When an account is deactivated, the user will be unable to login, will be unable to receive electronic mail on Athena, and will be unable to access files. The user file directory and contents associated with a deactivated account will remain on-line for at least 3 months and usually about 1 year; however, the Athena User Accounts office will need to grant special permission to allow access to these files. The existence of any data or files in your directory beyond this period cannot be guaranteed by Athena. If you need to make special arrangements to backup or transfer your data prior to deactivation, or if you have any further questions about account deactivation, please contact Athena User Accounts at accounts@mit.edu . last updated: 3/1/2005 |
