What should I do next?

Step 1: You are encouraged to classify data that you created into two categories:

  1. Personal data: You can keep this data and will need to backup files before losing access to your account.

  2. University data: You will need to transfer ownership of this data to designated faculty/staff or to another University account.

Step 2: Once you organize your data, your next step will be to either backup or transfer ownership of that data:
