reset their password as soon as possible. The password should
NOT be changed to the same password used

modified to reflect their new department

If you know the name of the department to which the employee has transferred please include that information in your email.
When an employee leaves the university their account will be disabled.
All disabled accounts are deleted during the semi-annual account clean-ups at the end of June and December.
Note: when an account is deleted all of the events and groups owned by this person will also be deleted. Events owned by this user that appear on the attendees calendars will also be deleted. The only way to prevent the events from being deleted from attendee's calendars is to transfer the data to another user's account before the account is deleted.
