Microsoft 365 - What should I expect when I am no longer a Faculty, Staff, or Student?

Can my account be deactivated/turned off?

This will depend on your status with the university or the type of account you have.

All faculty/staff/students have an Office 365 account in the format of NetID@wisc.edu.
If you are no longer affiliated with university (terminated faculty/staff or inactive student), your account will be processed through the deactivation cycle.
If you no longer want mail sent to a Faculty/Staff/Student or other alternate address, manage your alternate addresses.
If the account you are using is an Office 365 Service Account, it can be deleted. Contact your local IT/Domain administrator or the DoIT Help Desk to guide you with this process. Important: If an Office 365 account is deleted, the data associated with it cannot be restored.
