This service is a request for access to employee work data as it relates to legitimate institutional needs. Dartmouth employees retain an active account and access to Dartmouth systems for 30 days after their last day of employment.
Supervisors should work with departing staff prior to their absence or departure:
- Ensure all electronic files are in shared departmental storage.
- An email auto-reply (out-of-office) message has been set by the employee.
Request for access to employee work data must be for legitimate institutional need as described in the Access to User-Related Electronic Information at Dartmouth.
Requesting Access to Employee Work Data
All requests for access to other employees’ work data (including former employees) should be directed to the appropriate party to authorize access. We do not grant access based solely on a manager’s request.
