How can I extend my CIT Account?

1. What happens first?

  1. When the account expires, an Email from IT Operations is sent stating that it is only possible to send and receive emails for 1 month if the account is not extended.
  2.  After this month, you will receive a second email informing you that the account will be deactivated soon. You can extend your account via Ucentral for a short period (max 30 days). After that, you will have no access to this account; the only thing left may be the spam filter settings.
  3.  After one more month, the account will be deleted.
  4. In general, identifiers are blocked for 5 years before they can be assigned to a new user.

2. How can I extend my account?

For further use of this account, it is necessary to switch it to an assisted guest account. This happens when the guest (former employee or former Student) goes to the chair admin.

3. When should I ask for the guest account?

It is recommended to ask for this request before the de-registration or the end of the employment relationship

4. How long is the renewal valid?

While applying the guest account in the StrukturDB, the chair admin can see the expiring date for this account and can determine how long the validity of this account.
