Body

When to Use?

This article is the information needed for knowing what to do with the technology issued to retirees as they are transitioning out of Grand Valley State University (GVSU).

Procedure

Upon retirement, all GVSU-issued computer equipment must be returned to IT Services prior to last day of employment. All personal data should be backed up and removed prior to returning devices as all data in the computers and devices will be permanently deleted. Should assistance be needed, please reach out to the IT Service Desk via one of the following means:

Email at it@gvsu.edu
Phone: (616) 331-2101 or (855) 435-7488

Even though retirees are allowed to retain their GVSU email address, after accounts are moved to retiree status, log in credentials to office computers and network resources are no longer permitted.
