Approximately one year after graduation

All students lose access to the following accounts and account data at the end of the term starting one year from their last registered semester. For example, a graduate in Spring 2021 will have access to their account until the end of the Spring 2022 semester. Please be aware that many faculty set an end date or terminate access to their ELMS-Canvas courses for students at the end of the semester. For more details, see Access to and Preservation of Account Data for Students, Faculty and Staff.

TERPmail storage size/quota

Alumni accounts will drop from 256 GB to 15 GB of storage space (the same as free Google accounts). Any current alumni whose accounts exceed the storage limit will be notified and given time to reduce their space usage.

Upon graduating, new alumni using more than 15 GB of storage space will have about a year after their last registered class to reduce their storage usage. If they do not, storage space will be reclaimed. Items in Google Drive and Google Photos will be deleted first. Email messages will be deleted if the account is still over the limit. The Division of IT will send notifications to account owners before deleting data.
