Account Disablement and Transition
Upon account disablement, an email auto-reply is set to notify anyone sending an email to the account address that the account has been disabled, unless a custom auto-reply has already been set. After an account is deleted, according to the timelines noted in the chart above, a generic email non-delivery response (NDR) would be generated for any emails received at the former email address.
When a graduate is hired for an extended period during their first year as an alumni, their account will be transitioned from a student to staff account.
