Emeritus/Retiree Account Form
Prior to retirement; the retiree must fill out the Emeritus/Retiree Account form. Fill this form out as soon as possible so IT Services can assist you fully with preparing to leave the university. This includes transferring email and files to appropriate personnel in your department and gathering all your personal files to take with you.
Retirees and emeritus faculty continue to be bound by the Ethical Guidelines for IT Users and all other applicable IU, Purdue, and Purdue Fort Wayne policies and regulations governing the use of their computer account.
Additionally, retirees and emeritus faculty must be aware that IT Services cannot support their personal hardware once they retire.
Password Resets
Retirees should make sure to set a password security question and answer so they can reset their password on their own. Otherwise, they will need to come to the Help Desk with a photo ID.
