or faculty member. University policy requires that the network privileges
associated with your former affiliation with university be de-activated on

I've been using my cwru.edu e-mail account for 6 years now as my primary account, and when I came to case it was guarenteed for life, if I recall correctly.

Hrm. I wonder if they'll at least let me do mail forwarding.

When I started at the University Help Desk, I was told it was for life... by word of mouth. Then about two years ago someone ranted "They keep telling people it's for life, it's not! It never said that!" Apparently the policy has /always/ been 6 months after graduation you loose the account, they just hadn't enforced it in 18 years. Go fig.

it wasn't worth the effort of enforcing until recently, i think
