Scan the answers to the frequently-asked questions below to learn about disposition of your U.Va. computing accounts and licensed software before you leave the University.
What UVa Computing Resources May I Use After I Leave?
Computing resources at the University of Virginia are available for use by current students, faculty and staff. When you leave the University, you no longer have a right to use any University computing facilities: you should not use the computers in the public facilities, you should not use any computing accounts that were provided to you while you were a member of this community, you should not use the software CD-ROM that is provided to members of this community.
When will my U.Va. computing ID expire?
Your U.Va. computing ID will expire when you graduate or otherwise end your affiliation with the University. For more information about ITC's account expiration policy, please visit http://www.itc.virginia.edu/policy/accounts.html
My account is not on an ITC computer, it is on a departmental computer. When will it expire?
You need to check with the system administrator of the departmental computer to learn when the department will clean up your account.
I have research data that I share with my professor who will still be here. May I keep my account?
Only current members of the UVa community are entitled to have accounts. Before your account expires, you must move the research data to your professor's account, to your own account on another Internet Service Provider, or to portable storage media. ITC does not normally give access to your account to others, even after you leave.
I have files that have been used by my office on my account. May my account stay open so that my replacement can use these files?
Accounts are assigned to individuals and you should not allow anyone else, including your replacement, to have access to your account. Before you leave, you should transfer these files to your supervisor's or manager's account for safekeeping until your replacement arrives.
I have software that I have received because of my affiliation with UVa. May I continue to use it elsewhere?
When you leave the University, you must delete and destroy any software that you have received under a University site license or volume purchase agreement. Using this software after you leave the University is a violation of our software licenses. This restricted licensed software includes, but is not limited to, Symantec AntiVirus, statistical and mathematical programs such as SPSS and MatLab, and our electronic mail client, Mulberry. Software obtained from the ITC Research Computing Support Center (RCSC) such as SPSS, SAS, Matlab, or Mathematica requires an additional step beyond deleting if off your hard drive. You must also notify ITC that you're leaving U.Va. and have removed the software from your computer and destroyed the installation CDs or returned them to the RCSC in 244 Wilson. The easiest way to notify ITC that you've removed the software is to complete the appropriate web form at http://web.virginia.edu/rescomp/. If you have any license questions about software that you have received while at U.Va., please send email to itc-swlicense@virginia.edu.
