Graduating or Leaving UVM

Former students will continue to have access to myuvm.uvm.edu in order to access your student records and transcripts.

• Current students will find the transcript request link on the Registrar tab in myUVM.
• Alumni/former students will find the transcript request link on the Alumni page in myUVM. If you have difficulty signing into myUVM to request transcripts as an alum, you can still reset your password on the NetID password reset page.

• If your UVM email is connected to any 3rd party accounts (Spotify, Facebook, etc.), make sure to update your account profile to use a personal email address instead.
• Set up an auto-reply message within your UVM email account that provides your non-UVM email address and how to get in touch with you in the future.
• See our email export guide for information on backing up your emails stored in your UVM account.

Your UVM Microsoft 365 license is what allows you to download and use Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) for free. UVM continues to provide this license until you are no longer an active UVM student.

If you need to use these applications after it has expired you can either:

• Subscribe to a personal Microsoft 365 license (making sure to use an email other that your UVM email for your Microsoft account).
• Use an alternative set of applications, such as Google Workspace, Libre Office, etc.

Prepare by following the recommendations below.

• Download any files or content from chats or teams that you’d like to have continued access to.
• If you’d like to continue using Teams, you can sign up for a free account. Make sure to use a non-UVM email when signing up.

After leaving UVM, students have their Office license changed to A1 instead of A3, which grants 100GB of storage space instead of 1TB. If you are over this new limit, you will still be able to copy files onto local storage, but you won’t be able to upload anything new. You keep this license for approximately 1 year, after which you will no longer have OneDrive access through UVM.

• If you use the OneDrive client on your computer, ensure that you have local copies of files stored on your computer by disabling the Files on Demand feature (Windows or macOS).
• Log in to OneDrive from a web browser and download any files you’d like to have continued access to locally to your computer.

• Files stored on Zoo can be accessed using the methods detailed in our Accessing Network Folders guide. After connecting to your Zoo storage, you can transfer any files you wish to keep to local storage.
• If files are not transferred prior to your last day of class, you will need to access the files using the FileZilla (sftp) method (Windows or macOS).
• If you have a webpage on Zoo (found at uvm.edu/~yournetid), and you have previously directed users to that page in the past, consider updating the page to refer users to an external website that they can reference in the future after your UVM site is removed.

• Files stored on Silk can be accessed using the methods detailed in our Accessing Network Folders guide. After connecting to your Silk storage, you can download any files you wish to keep to local storage.
• If you have a webpage on silk (found at yournetid.w3.uvm.edu), and you have previously directed users to that page in the past, consider updating the page to refer users to an external website that they can reference in the future after your UVM site is removed.

• Access to Cisco AnyConnect VPN is removed within 7 business days of finals week.
• If you believe your affiliation is incorrect, please submit a help ticket.

• Access to UVM’s virtual desktop infrastructure (Virtual Votey, ArcGIS, etc.) will go away immediately following the last day of finals. Please ensure that you’ve completed any necessary work pertaining to this service before the deadline.
• If you believe your affiliation is incorrect, please submit a help ticket.

The exact time that your access to UVM services will change depends on when your UVM affiliation switches from “Student” to “Alumni (Former Student)” in our system.

This affiliation change occurs within 7 business days after the finals week of your last semester at UVM.

Please expand the toggles in the Recommendations and Timelines portion of the guide above to see more details related to when each service will go away.

If you have arranged an official leave of absence with your college, your NetID account should maintain your “current student” affiliation status.
