IT account closure for graduating students
Posted on behalf of: IT Services
Last updated: Monday, 18 May 2026

If you are graduating this summer, access to your IT account will end on the last day of your course, which might be earlier than you were expecting. You can find your course end date on your student ID card.
On this date you will lose access to most services and only retain access to email (online only), Sussex Direct, and Canvas for a total of 14 months.
What do you need to do?
If you wish to keep any of your documents saved in Onedrive or Google drive, you must download them before your course end date. Your copy should be saved to a personal non-university storage location e.g. a personal Onedrive or a USB stick.
Student email access
You will have access to your email account (online only) for 14 months after the last day of your course. We recommend saving any important emails and transferring any subscriptions to a personal email account.
