Account expiration
When administrative-technical employees leave, their last ETH services expire. This applies to ETH members who have solely administrative-technical employment (i.e. for whom there is no active enrolment, no current lecturing period and no other employment in the scientific area). For these administrative-technical employees, the blocking of all services (incl. mailbox service) and the deletion of the forwardings (“forwards”) will take place at the same time as their departure. For students, lecturers and academic staff, these services will continue to exist for 180 days after leaving.
