Account Off-Boarding FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Employees should expect to lose access to RCCD employee accounts and resources on their date of separation.

Q: Why can't I keep my account?
A: Please visit: Article - Account Off-Boarding and Retiree Email Account Process

Q: Can I set up a rule to forward emails / will the forward rule remain?
A: Forwarding rules will be disabled as part of the account disable process. This serves to prevent data loss/leak of District intellectual property and business interests.

Q: Can you move all my emails to another account?
A: Since your work mailbox contains business and sensitive information, we cannot move that data elsewhere. You're welcome to forward, download, or print-to-pdf personal items.

Q: How will senders know I no longer have access?
A: Email your contacts and/or set up an auto-reply rule to let senders know that you no longer have access and (optional) provide alternate contact methods.

Q: I have accounts and services tied to my work email.
A: If the purpose is work-related, please work with your department to transition to another work email. If the purpose is personal, please transition to personal email.

Q: Who do I need to contact if I need to reset my retiree email account password or phone number associated with my email account.
