This article will step you through the process of transitioning college data and any personal data you would like to retain to a personal account, prior to your retirement. We will work with you to ensure a smooth transition and remain committed to supporting you on this journey.
Retired faculty will continue to have access to their Davidson College email.
Technology Steps to Take Before You Retire
- Transition College Data
- Discuss with your department chair any college data that may need to move into the department's Google Drive folder.
- Transfer ownership of college data that your department may need to retain to a designated faculty member (i.e. Qualtrics surveys, Google Drive, OneDrive data).
- Work with a T&I staff member to make sure Confidential and Restricted level data (such as Social Security Numbers, passport numbers, employee/personnel records, FERPA-protected student records) are no longer accessible, such as in one’s email account or in their personal digital files.
- Any technology products or services (such as websites, apps or other services) developed or maintained by retiring faculty should be transitioned to another responsible faculty member or department.
