Leavers
Leaving the department
This covers DAMTP, DPMMS and the Statslab.
When you leave the department your computer login ceases to be active.
If you were a staff or student member the system gives you a month grace period. You can extend this by another month. If you are continuing to work with someone and need continued access or need to keep your login open for other reasons the procedures to arrange this are in the Q&As below.
For everyone else your login ceases when your leave or your collaboration end date is reached. If your visit or collaboration is continuing see the Q+As below on what to do.
The system tries to email people before they leave to remind them their accout will close.
Sometimes people who are not leaving receive a leaving email. This can happen when our data is incorrect. Receiving such an email unexpectedly may be perplexing, worrying or annoying but please read through the relevant Q&As to understand why you may have received this, and how to change it if appropriate. It is really important you approach the correct people to get the data corrected so your account does not close.
If you do not see the email your account still closes. See the Q&A below for what to do.
When a maths login closes you can no longer log in or access your files. If the login to the maths system reopens within a few months of closure you should find all your files are still there.

Mailing lists
- If you are a member of a list or lists, unsubscribe (remove yourself) from all the lists of which you are a member.
- If you are a manager or moderator of a mailing list, you should hand over your responsibilities to your successor and remove yourself from the list.
Leaving the university
UIS will contact you about the accounts you have with them (Raven, university email) . This typically happens one week to one month after you leave the university. Read their email carefully as it tells you what to do if you need to keep your @cam email live for for another month or two. UIS - leaving the university webpage.
Notes
Maths collaborations do not generally provide access to facilities managed by UIS. Neither do they show up on the faculty and department web pages. There are notes in the Q&A of what to do is this is required.
Please tidy up before you leave and consider the data you have on our system.
