Zoom: Accounts for People Who Leave U-M

Overview

U-M Zoom accounts are available to all active faculty, staff, students, and Type-1 sponsored affiliates on the Ann Arbor, Dearborn, and Flint campuses and Michigan Medicine. You will lose access immediately after your active affiliation at the university changes (i.e., after graduation, after the last day of employment, etc.). (This means alumni, retirees, and individuals who are no longer affiliated with the university do not have access to U-M Zoom.) This document explains what steps to take before you leave the university and lose access to your U-M Zoom account.

It is important to understand the affiliations you have at the university to determine when access to certain U-M computing services will end and how to prepare accordingly. For more detailed information on what happens when someone leaves U-M, refer to Leaving U-M.

Note: U-M Zoom accounts remain intact for emeriti faculty who retain all standard computing services. For details, refer to SPG 201.80 | Emeritus/Emerita Titles.

Warning: Sponsored affiliates will not receive a notification before their access ends.

Before You Leave U-M

Before your affiliation with U-M changes:

Note: You will lose access to any future scheduled Zoom meetings under your U-M account when you change affiliation. You will need to reschedule them in a personal Zoom account.

Uncooperative Departures

An uncooperative departure is when the affected U-M person cannot be relied on to assist with their departure.

If the departure involves an uncooperative employee, the best practice is to involve ITS User Advocate as soon as possible by emailing [email protected].

With User Advocate involvement, Zoom Administrators can assist in:

  • Preserve the contents of a Zoom account.
  • Suspend the Zoom account’s access sooner than the automated process.
  • If time-critical, download university data from the person’s Zoom account.
