Applicants that become students have their access changed to include such things as e-mail (SUmail), wireless and wired network services, and access to computer labs. The same access is granted to non-matriculated (e.g. University College) students. The duration of access after the student becomes inactive (program becomes inactive and/or student stops registering) varies for each resource. SUMail is retained in perpetuity. MySlice access is retained for about 2 years after the last term of registration. Data files are retained for 2 years after the last term of registration and if the student's program is no longer active. Students under judicial suspension may lose access to e-mail and other university computing services. Graduating? For complete information about resources once you graduate, visit the IT Resource Access After Graduation, Retirement, Resignation, etc. page. |

Faculty and staff use their netid to access resources such as email (Exchange), wireless, mySlice, desktop logins (for computers in SU's Active Directory domain), VPN (SURA), and home/shared directories. Current faculty and staff have access to these resources throughout their employment at Syracuse University (and during temporary work breaks). Access to certain administrative and academic information systems are governed by data custodians/administrators of those systems. Retiring or Resigning? For complete information about resources once you've left the university, visit the IT Resource Access After Graduation, Retirement, Resignation, etc. page.

Although Blackboard uses the NetID/password combination for authentication, access to courses or data within the Blackboard system is limited to those administering or enrolled in the defined Blackboard courses, or, in the case of Blackboard Organizations, access is limited to those who are defined as members of the specific Blackboard organization. Likewise, MySlice uses the NetID/password combination for authentication; however, access to services within MySlice is dependent upon the the client's role or position within the University, or student status. In addition, schools, colleges, and departments may also use the NetID/password for authentication to specialized services and computing resources within the unit. Access to those systems is often restricted and governed by the school, colleges, and departments. |
