Expiration and Removal of Your HuskyNetID

Graduation and HuskyNetID Expiration

SCSU provides students access to HuskyNet services six months past their official graduation date.

• Fall semester graduates: Service extension until June
  
• Spring semester graduates: Service extension until November
• Summer session graduates: Service extension until February

After the extension period has expired, accounts are disabled and removed from the system. Alumni need to remove or copy their HuskyNet account files to another location before their HuskyNetID and account expire.

The SCSU Alumni Association offers an alumni e-mail forwarding service called Wired for Life. See the Alumni Association Web site for more information.

Saving your files
You will need to move or copy your files to another location if you wish to keep them for future use. You can burn them to CD, copy them to a flash drive (memory stick) or move to another location. If you need assistance, please contact the SCSU HelpDesk. Lab consultants are available to assist you in all General Access Labs.

Nonenrollment HuskyNet Account Expiration

A HuskyNetID remains active as long as a student is continuously enrolled in courses at SCSU.

The following general information pertains to expiration and removal of student HuskyNetIDs for students who have not officially graduated from SCSU.

1st semester not enrolled: Account Deactivation
If a student is not registered for courses by the 10th day of fall or spring semester (summer and intersessions are not included), that student’s HuskyNetID will be deactivated. This includes students working on an incomplete from a previous semester. New e-mail will not be delivered and existing e-mail and private files will be retained but not accessible.

2nd consecutive semester not enrolled: Account Removal/Deletion Deactivated HuskyNet accounts, and the files and e-mail associated with them, will be deleted from the SCSU system on or after the 10th day of the second consecutive semester the student is not enrolled in courses at SCSU (summer and intersessions are not included).

St. Cloud State University is not responsible for any deleted information due to removal of a HuskyNetID, files or e-mail. Once a HuskyNet account is deleted, SCSU cannot retrieve files or e-mail.

Reactivating your HuskyNetID (username)
If you are returning to SCSU from a semester or more away, you must reactivate your HuskyNetID by following the first-time activation instructions on the Activate Your HuskyNetID page.

If your HuskyNetID has been deactivated, you will be able to retrieve your previous account files upon reactivation. However, if your HuskyNetID account has been removed, you will not be able to retrieve your previous account files.

Exceptions and extensions

Graduate student accounts:

Graduate student accounts (for students enrolled in a master’s program) remain active for one year after their last semester of enrollment.

Students who need an extension to complete a thesis must have their advisor provide written notification to the HuskyNet Accounts Coordinator stating that the student is in the process of completing a graduate thesis and requires the HuskyNet account.

Active duty military leave:

The SCSU Office of Records and Registration will notify the HuskyNet Accounts Coordinator when it receives notice from a student that he/she is called to active duty. The student’s account will be flagged, indicating that he/she is on active duty for a specified amount of time, and the account will remain active for that period of time.

Nonstudent computer access
Once you graduate and your HuskyNetID and account expire, you can still access some of the Miller Center library computing services by applying for a Community Patron UserID. Miller Center computers are available for area community members who have a Community Patron UserID.

Other special circumstances:

Students must make a special request if they need an account extension so their HuskyNetID and access remain active during a semester they are not enrolled in classes.

Students with a special circumstance, such as an incomplete or culminating project in progress, but not currently enrolled, should contact their advisor or instructor. The student's instructor or thesis advisor must provide written notification to the HuskyNet Accounts Coordinator stating that the student is in the process of completing a course from an earlier semester or in the process of completing thesis work.

Special requests are decided on a case-by-case basis. Each request must be approved by a faculty member/advisor, who must then send a request to the HuskyNet Accounts Coordinator citing the academic need for the extension.

Requests should be sent by your advisor or instructor to the HuskyNet Accounts Coordinator at huskynetaccounts@stcloudstate.edu. Extension requests are usually granted for one semester at a time (summer and intersession not included) and need to be requested again prior to each semester an extension is needed.
