University accounts remain active for the duration of the time a user is at the University. In terms of eresource access and when that expires, this might differ, depending on someone’s University status. Current staff and student access will automatically cease on either the date when their contract finishes or a course is completed.
With the latter, this will occur before the degree is conferred.
This is to ensure that University remains within the terms of our licenses that only permit access to be granted to 'current students'.
Once a student completes, they are no longer viewed as current (from the point of view of the license) and although their account may be active for a period after completion, UIS will automatically remove the permissions needed to access eresources.
These can be reinstated if the student has an ongoing supervisor role. The student would need to contact the helpdesk at eresources@lib.cam.ac.uk in the first instance.
