Advice for Departments with a Departing Staff Member

When a staff member joins the University a number of accounts are automatically created and others are set up manually. When the staff member departs with no other connecttions to Georgetown, some of those accounts automatically become inactive and others require manual intervention.  For people continuing as students or alumni or transfering to another position within Georgetown, a different set of considerations are at play.

The information on these pages covers many common applications and gives advice on a number of issues your office should consider in advance of a staff member?s departure. There is also a link to a form helpful in summarizing the accounts the person had which can be forwarded to the Help Desk.

Accounts and Applications to take into consideration This page offers detailed descriptions of GUMail and @georgetown.edu routing, administrative NetIDs, computer files on Novell drives, departmental web sites, and GUCalendar issues.

Form to request closing of accounts Please submit this one-page form to close accounts prior to the employee's departure to ensure a smooth transition. Use this form only if you have authority from your department to request account closures. If you do not have the authority to request account closures for your department, or if you are unsure, please fill out the Printable Account Termination Form and fax this to the helpdesk.
