There are a bunch of things that happen when you leave Lehigh.  You return your keys to the Ideal office, your parking permit expires, cash out your dining dollars, return any library books.  After all that happens, Lehigh will start closing down your online access and purging your accounts.   

Once your account is closed, you will not be able to access services that require Lehigh University credentials, such as Lehigh Google email and apps, Lehigh Office 365 subscription, Lehigh OneDrive, Campus Portal, Course Site, library resources, LAN space, secure wireless, VPN, public site computers, and web space.

If you have files or email messages that you need to retain, you must copy them to disk or to another account prior to the closing date. If you have shared files within Google Drive, please transfer ownership of the files to one of the accounts with which the files are shared. Once the account is closed, all files associated with your account will be deleted.  Typically, accounts are closed for Faculty/Staff leaving Lehigh within a week and for Students leaving the when their student record becomes inactive in Banner.


Transfer your mail and google drive files

Reach out to your contacts and let them know of your new address.  You can setup a vacation message in g suite to automatically respond with a message that you are no longer at Lehigh and what to do for anyone who sends you a message.  

You can transfer or takeout a copy of your g suite files, mail, calendar, etc. to another account that you own, such as a personal gmail account.  

You can also share files and folders with another user at lehigh, and transfer the ownership of them to them.   You can transfer calendars that you own, such as a shared group calendar you created.  If you own a g suite group, you can make someone else an owner by changing their role.
