Retiring from service to Valparaiso University? You may have questions about what happens to your accounts and access.


Question:
Do I get to keep my IT accounts?

Answer:
Please reference the official Employee IT Account Policy for information on what happens to your accounts after retiring.


Question:
What criteria do I have to meet in order to achieve retiree status?

Answer:
According to Human Resource Services, the criteria are:

  • Staff or faculty are 60 years old and completed 10 years or more of service, or under 60 with 25 years of service; or
  • Faculty are eligible for early retirement as defined by the faculty handbook.

Questions about eligibility should be directed to Human Resource Services.


Question:
Will my username or email address change?

Answer:
Please reference the official Employee IT Account Policy for information on what happens to your accounts after retiring.


Question:
What computing access is included?

Answer:
Your ongoing ValpoNet computing access will include the AMS (to maintain your password), Gmail@Valpo, and Active Directory (campus network).

Faculty may retain their H: drives; staff generally do not retain their H: drives.

Access to other IT systems and services such as Blackboard Learn, DataVU, VPN, campus printing, etc., do not continue unless you retain an active employee status.


Question:
What about other non-IT benefits?

Answer:
Contact Human Resource Services for answers to questions not related to IT account access for retirees.
