Leaving K-State FAQs
Who do I contact if I need help?
Contact the IT Service Desk: Search the Knowledge Base, Submit a Ticket, or Start a Live Chat. Faculty and staff may wish to first contact their departmental support staff for assistance.
How do I keep my eID active when I leave K-State?
As of January 2012, eIDs remain assigned to eligible individuals for life. See the K-State eID Policy for details.
What happens if I leave and don't copy my email or folders?
Students (and retired or emeritus employees) retain full access to their email and files, as long as their password has not expired and has not been compromised. Most employees who leave K-State lose all access to email and files 240 days after their termination date.
Can I still use my K-State email addresss?
- Students have access to their K-State email account long-term, as long as their password has not expired and has not been compromised.
- Employees who leave will lose their email Inbox and cannot send emails from their @ksu.edu address 240 days after leaving.
Before losing access to your email account, copy your email Inbox folders and messages you want to keep.
How do I unsubscribe to mailing lists?
- Go to listserv.ksu.edu, sign in, and then click Subscriber's Corner to see all the K-State lists to which you're subscribed. You can unsubscribe from any or all lists.
- Email listserv@listserv.ksu.edu with just a command in the body text: UNSUB listname (example: UNSUB TODAY-L)
where "listname" is the list's ID. LISTSERV will send an email notification that you've been removed.
For more information about mailing lists, see the Mailing Lists website.
What should I do about mailing lists that I own?
- Contact the other list owners to let them know you are leaving, and remove yourself as an owner.
- If you're the only owner of a list, ask one of the subscribers to be the new owner, then add them as an owner before you remove yourself.
- If one person is going to take over all your lists, email listhelp@k-state.edu, and state who will be responsible for your lists, the LISTSERV staff will update all your lists.
- If a list and its archives are no longer needed, notify listhelp@k-state.edu to request that the list and archives be removed.
Can I continue to use the applications I've received from K-State?
No. Using the application after you leave K-State is a violation of the university's application license agreement. When you leave K-State, you must remove any applications you've received under K-State application licenses, volume-purchase agreements, or departmental agreements.
Can I still use the university computing labs?
No. Your eID will not be able to sign in on the lab computers after you leave K-State. The university computing labs are for K-State faculty, staff, and students with an active K-State eID. Children under 18 who are not students at K-State may not use the computers. Individuals may be asked to produce a valid K-State ID as proof of their age and enrollment status.
