Graduating or Leaving RPI?

Your RCS account  will remain active for approximately six weeks after graduation. You will receive e-mail notification, sent to your RCS e-mail account, at least two weeks before your account's expiration.  Please refer to the RCS Accounts section of this website for more information about account expiration.

You can continue to access e-mail sent to your rcsuserid@rpi.edu e-mail address until your RCS account expires. Once your account expires, you can no longer authenticate to receive e-mail at that address. However, if you set up e-mail forwarding before your account expires, new e-mail will be forwarded for an additional 120 days.

Spam filtering - Respite stops filtering e-mail after your RCS account expires. If you are having your e-mail forwarded, any spam will get forwarded rather than be blocked. If you would like the forwarding stopped, please send an e-mail request to the Help Desk staff.

Please refer to the RCS Accounts section of this website for more e-mail related information.

The web pages will no longer be viewable after your account expires.

Before you leave Rensselaer, please give someone else in your group the appropriate file permissions to administer the /locker space. (If you need help setting file permissions, you can see the consultants at the VCC Help Desk or see memo RPI.114, Sharing Files on RCS UNIX Systems.)

Note: The locker does not expire, even when the userid to which it is assigned expires. Departments will continue to be billed for the locker disk space until ARC receives explicit notice to expire the locker.
