Resources and Info for Retirees

St. Lawrence official retirees may choose to keep their university network/email account. Those who choose to keep this account must make this request by submitting a service request and complete the Cybersecurity online training before their retirement date.  Otherwise, network and email accounts will expire 30 days from the official retirement date.  

St. Lawrence Network and Email Account
Retirees continuing to keep their St. Lawrence electronic access must continue to adhere to the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) and University IT/Information Security Policies.  Compromised accounts interrupt, and put at risk, day-to-day university operations and will be disabled until required training has been completed.  Accounts have that have been compromised repeatedly will be disabled pending review by the CIO/AVP of IT and other appropriate senior staff. 

Network and email accounts are to be used for university business only and personal business must be conducted with your personal email account. For instance, do not use your SLU email address as the basis of your identity when setting up personal online accounts.

Note: in the case of an employee or retiree death, the university will immediately disable all university accounts and access to the account is not permitted, by anyone, including family.
You are required to setup an Out of Office message in Outlook.  Work with you supervisor to create the content and timing of this message that may include who to work with for university business as well as where to direct personal communications.  The Out of Office message will remain in effect even if you do not retain use of your SLU email account. 

For more information, please visit the outgoing employee page for guidance on how to move email from your SLU email account to your PERSONAL email account.  This is required and IT can assist as needed.

IT Help Desk Support
The IT Help Desk will continue to support faculty and staff with university network/email password and account related issues.  IT can assist with connecting to St. Lawrence resources such as VPN, SLU email, and network access.  For repair or support of other issues such as broken hardware, malfunctioning software, viruses, etc., IT can recommend other local support options. 

Library Resources
Retirees will continue to have access to all online library research databases as well as access to ODY and Launders Science Library.  Retired faculty members may borrow materials for a year and retired staff members may borrow materials for four weeks, with a generous renewal policy in place.  All retirees continue to have access to research assistance provided by librarians in-person, via email or via the telephone.  

Listservs
Retirees will continue to have access to the facstaff listserv and the faculty listserv (faculty only).  There is also a retiree listserv available, the management of this listserv is undergoing some changes and information about who to contact to be added will be updated shortly.  

University Computer and Software
All university owned computers and peripheral devices will be retrieved by IT upon retirement, this includes capital, operating, grant and gift funded technology.  The computer harddrives will be stored for 30 days after retirement before erasing all data.  Software installed with university licenses on personally owned computers must be uninstalled and personal licenses must be purchased by the owner of the computer.  This includes but is not limited to Microsoft Office, Zoom, and Adobe.
