Faculty and Staff UCInetID Deactivation Policy

Faculty and Staff UCInetID Deactivation Policy

Separated Employees

If you are leaving the university, your UCInetID will be disabled based upon the separation date that we receive from the UCI Payroll/Personnel System.

Retired Employees

If you are retiring from the university, you may request the continuation of UCInetID and email services. See the Retirees tab.

Deactivation Schedule

Faculty/Staff (employee) deactivations usually happen 90 or more days after separation. Processed monthly, employee separation dates from the UCPath are used to determine which UCInetIDs are subject to deactivation.

• • When the separation date is 60 or more days in the past:
    If Faculty or Staff member is not keeping their account as a Retiree, they are notified through email that their UCInetID will be deactivated in 30 days.
    This 30 day notice allows the Faculty or Staff member time to secure Internet and email service elsewhere.

• 30 days after email notification of pending deactivation: 
  The UCInetID is disabled and archived.

Continuing Students and Returning Employees

• Continuing as a UCI Student 
  If you are continuing at UCI as a student, your affiliation will return to “student” when you are notified.
• Returning Employees
  If you return to UCI, after a period of absence, we will attempt to re-issue your previous UCInetID to you. If this cannot be done, you will be issued a new UCInetID based up on your name. When you return, you will need to activate your UCInetID and select a new password.

Retirees

Emeritus Faculty

Retiring Academic Senate faculty members can keep their UCInetIDs. 
If you receive a deactivation notification in error, please contact the OIT Help Desk at oit@uci.edu and we will make sure that your UCInetID is not deactivated.

Retiring Staff

UCI retirees can keep their UCInetIDs and maintain or sign-up for an OIT MailBox Service email account.

Retirees must contact the Center for Emeriti and Retirees if they wish to to sign up for the continuation of UCInetID services.
