An employee account is deactivated 60 days after termination. The general rule 
for storing emails is that they are deleted from the server 30 days after the 
user deletes them, but anything not deleted by the user is presumably still on 
the server. Managers must obtain approval in order to access an employee’s 
email; the dean would be the approver for academic units and the director would 
be the approver for non-academic units.

Hello, ACUPA!

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and that your winter is shaping up 
beautifully.

I am looking to find out how universities typically handle requests for access 
to a terminated employee’s email:

For example:
∙             Is it part of your normal termination process for a Manager to 
obtain full access to their former employee's mailbox?
∙             Are only new messages forwarded to the manager or another 
employee?
∙             Does access vary by employee level?
∙             Is there an approval process?
∙             Are there time limits for access?
∙             Are emails culled before they are provided?
∙             Etc.

I appreciate your assistance!
